[Acartia tonsa seasonal variation in body size] - Acartia tonsa prosome length measurements from copepods collected in Long Island Sound in summer and fall of 2019 (Linking eco-evolutionary dynamics of thermal adaptation and grazing in copepods from highly seasonal environments)

This data includes body size measurements for both male and female individuals from seasonal collections of Acartia tonsa from Eastern Long Island Sound in Summer and Fall 2019. The body size measurements in this dataset correspond to the 2019 collections (laboratory acclimation groups).

Additional body size measurements (as prosome lengths) were made on individuals from a split-brood experiment after several generations of common garden acclimation. The observed variation in size can therefore be attributed to the effects of both genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity. Data were collected by Dr.
