Data on the growth and reproduction of Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia
reticulata) from sixteen different populations, reared under experimental
conditions of either high or low food availability. These data were used
to fit dynamic energy budgets models for each of the populations. For
twelve populations, there are three sets of observations per individual,
recorded at each successive parturition event. For four of the
populations, data were recorded at each parturition event over the full
lifespan of each individual.
These are data on the growth and reproduction of individually housed
Trinidadian guppies, reared under experimental conditions of either low or
high food. Data are collated from three sets of experiments that followed
the same general protocol, although the experimental food treatments
differed between experiments. Please refer to the manuscript “Substantial
intraspecific variation in energy budgets: biology or artefact?",
published in Functional Ecology, for details on the experimental
procedures.
The README file describes the contents of the data files. Each datafile
contains a "key" tab, which provides units and descriptions for
each of the data columns. Please note that this is the raw data used for
analyses. All of the MATLAB scripts and formatted data files used to
perform the analyses presented in the paper are deposited in the Dynamic
Energy Budget specific data repository
(http://www.bio.vu.nl/thb/deb/deblab/add_my_pet/species_list.html - link
to pages for each set of population-specific analyses are provided in the
Supplementary Materials of the manuscript. We provide the raw data here,
as the MATLAB format makes it tricky for anyone else to extract and use
the data.
