title: Exploring the Relationship between Lipid Profile Changes, Growth and Reproduction in Folsomia candida Exposed to Teflubenzuron Over Time

description: This submission provides csv files with the data files from a comprehensive study aimed at investigating the effects of sublethal concentrations of the insecticide teflubenzuron on the survival, growth, reproduction, and lipid changes of theCollembola Folsomia candida over different exposure periods.

The dataset files are provided in CSV format with Comma Separated Values:



Survival_Growth_Reproduction_FolsomiaCandida_RawData.csv

Main_Lipid_Class_Log10_RawData.csv

Lipidomics_Lipid_classes_QC_loess_log10_LC.csv

Lipid_Categories_RawData.csv

Bioaccumulation_SoilQuantification_RawData.csv


Description of the files



The csv Survival_Growth_Reproduction_FolsomiaCandida_RawData.csv containes the dataframe in vertical format with the data for suvival of Folsomia candida, changes in biomass and reproduction. 

The csv file Main_Lipid_Class_Log10_RawData provides the dataframe in horizontal format with the log10 transformed total lipid content of the main lipid classes in Folsomia candida. Data used to produce Figure 5 of the manuscript. Full name of lipids abbreviation are provided in supplementary information of the manuscript.

The table Lipidomics_Lipid_classes_QC_loess_log10_LC.csv shows the values of the peak areas for every identified lipid feature, after applied quality control correction (LOESS model) and normalization by sample weight intake. Further the able also represent the data of total sum of peak areas values from each lipid class. The values of a total sum of lipid classes were used in statistical analysis.  The values are in relative units.

The csv file Lipid_Categories_RawData provides the dataframe with lipid categories in Folsomia candida. Data was not used in the data analysis described in the manuscript.

The csv file Bioaccumulation_SoilQuantification_RawData.csvontaines the dataframe in vertical format with the data for soil quantification of the insecticide in the soil, in the animals and the calculation for bioaccumulation factor.


Variables in the files:

File 1:
