Data for publication "Incubation in wastewater reduces the multigenerational effects of microplastics in Daphnia magna"
Summary
This dataset from a multigenerational Daphnia study contains size measurements and growth data for water fleas exposed to microplastics incubated in either ultrapure water or wastewater. The data support analysis of how wastewater incubation alters microplastic toxicity across generations.
Dataset for publication: 10.1021/acs.est.0c07911The data set contains to following:Raw data for adult (all surviving) and neonate size of the 4th brood.Raw growth data for daphnids. Data set includes length data for two experiments with differing parental food levels. The subsequent generation was exposed to microplastics that were incubated in ultrapure water ("MP") and wastewater ("wwMP"), body length from the center of the eye to the base of the apical spinus was recorded thrice weekly.The growth data was used to fit a von Bertalanffy growth equation from the FSA package in R with Rstudio (Ogle et al. 2019). The predictions are available in a separate file. FTIR spectra for the material before and after grinding and the two microplastic types used in this study.
