propiconazole_pulse_exposure {morse}

Survival data set for Gammarus pulex exposed to propiconazole during 10 days with time-variable exposure concentration (non-standard pulsed toxicity experiments)

Description

Survival data set of laboratory toxicity tests with Gammarus pulex freshwater invertebrates exposed to several profiles of concentrations (time-variable concentration for each time series) of one fungicide (propiconazole) during 10 days.

Usage

data(propiconazole_pulse_exposure)

Format

A data frame with 74 observations on the following four variables:

replicate

A vector of class factor with the replicate code (varControl, varA, varB and varC).

conc

A vector of class numeric with propiconazole concentrations in \mu mol.L^{-1}.

time

A vector of class integer with the time points (in days from the beginning of the experiment t = 0).

Nsurv

A vector of class integer with the number of alive individuals at each time point for each concentration and each replicate.
