Description

These coral larvae respiration data are a compilation of published results describing the respiration rates of planula larvae of tropical corals and were extracted from literature for comparative purposes with the dataset coral_larvae_respiration. These datasets are part of a study that describes the effects of temperature on the respiration of brooded larvae of scleractinian corals and evaluates the implications of these effects relative to seawater temperature when peak larval release occurs, and are published in Edmunds et al. (2011). J. Exp. Biol. 214, 2783-2790 (see p 2788, Table 1 and p 2789, Fig 3).

Methods & Sampling

This data compilation of published results was created through bibliographic search techniques of peer-reviewed literature. When suitable studies were found, rates of aerobic respiration were compiled in units of nmol O₂ larva^-1 min^-1.

For additional information on materials and methods associated with these data, see Edmunds et al. (2011). J. Exp. Biol. 214, 2783-2790.

Data Processing Description

BCO-DMO Processing Notes:

- Original file: “Date in Edmunds et al. JEB 2011 copy.xls” contained several sheets. This file was split into four separate datasets

- Resultant datasets were edited in excel by adding BCODMO convention header line, PI and comment lines. The following edits were made to Coral_larvae_comparison_respir:

Removed quotes from location and references.
Commas in locations were edited to underscores.
Separated experiment brief description from location and created a separate column "exp_type" to contain this information
Added line for publication reference information to file header
Added "nd" to blank cells
Edited units to exclude negative signs, underscores, parentheses and scientific notation, (e.g., "nmol O2 min-1 larva-1" was edited to "nmol O2 per min per larvae" and "mg O2 planula-1h-1 (x10-4)" was edited to "mg O2 per planula per hour E-4")
Subsequently removed entire converted units column and added this information to header comment line (this information was redundant and therefore removed from the data)
Sorted all data alphabetically by coral species name
