We conducted a replication study for Rosenkranz et al. (2009) (https://doi.org/10.1897/08-559.1).Our data consists of CLSM images of Daphnia exposed to 20 nm and 1000 nm polystyrene particles with a number of conditions and specimen treatments.Publication available under: https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.4436
