Description

Raw data for :
Bestion E, García-Carreras B, Schaum C-E, Pawar S, Yvon-Durocher G. 2018. Metabolic traits predict the effects of warming on phytoplankton competition. Ecology Letters, doi: 10.1111/ele.12932

Composed of two data sets:
- Competition data.csv
- Growth rate Raw data.csv


Composition of the Growth rate raw data
-----------------------------------------
csv file corresponding to the fit of a Buchanan three-phase-linear model to the growth rate data
of the 6 species at the 5 temperatures, 13 phosphate concentrations and with 3 replicates, cleaned.
with 12 columns
- SpeciesName : The Genus of the 6 phytoplankton species used in the experiment
- SpeciesNb: a numeric code from 1 to 6 for each species (in alphabetical order)
- Temperature_fact: Temperature levels from 15 to 35 coded as a factor (T15, T20, T25, T30, T35)
- Temperature_c: Temperature level coded as a numeric variable (15, 20, 25, 30, 35)
- Phosphate_fact: Phosphate concentration (umol/L) in the medium, 13 levels coded as a factor (P0.01, P0.1, P01, ... to P50)
- Phosphate_c: Phosphate concentration coded as a numeric variable
- Replicate: 3 replicates, named 1 to 3
- id_STR: a composite ID column with the species number, the temperature and the replicate to fit the Monod model grouping per ID
- LOG10N0: N0 parameter from the Buchanan model
- lag: tlag parameter from the Buchanan model
- LOG10Nmax: Nmax parameter from the Buchanan model
- mu: growth rate, mu parameter from the Buchanan model. To be used to fit the Monod model.

Composition of the Competition data
---------------------------------------
Results from the competition experiment, as a csv file.
with columns:
- Day: day of measurement, 3 days (day 5, 14 and 23)
- Species_pair: pair of species competing together, from the concatenation of the species numeric code (SpeciesNb in the Growth rate raw data) in the form of 1_2
- SpeciesA: first species in the species pair
- SpeciesB: second species in the species pair
- Temperature_fact: as above, only two temperatures (T15 and T25)
- Phosphate_fact: as above, only 3 phosphate levels (P0.1, P01, P30)
- Replicate: 6 replicates, named R1 to R6
- Samples_to_remove_low_density: samples to exclude from the analysis of the competition data as the total cell density was below a predefined threshold of 500 cells/ml
- total_cells_SpA_and_B: total number of cells in the sample (in cells/ml)
- nb_cells_SpA_lda: number of cells from species A, as calculated with the linear discriminant analysis
- nb_cells_SpB_lda: number of cells from species B, as calculated with the linear discriminant analysis
- nb_cells_SpA_randomforest: number of cells from species A, as calculated with the randomforest analysis
- nb_cells_SpB_randomforest: number of cells from species B, as calculated with the randomforest analysis
- nb_cells_SpA_rpart: number of cells from species A, as calculated with the rpart analysis
- nb_cells_SpB_rpart: number of cells from species B, as calculated with the rpart analysis
- R_obs_lda: observed competition coefficient R, calculated as the ln ratio of the number of cells from the two species; with the lda analysis
- R_obs_randomforest: same with randomforest
- R_obs_rpart: same with rpart
- total_cells_SpA_and_B_average_in_isolate: total number of cells of the two species obtained summing the average total number of cells from each species cultivated in isolation across replicates
