title: Historical data for feeding, growth and life history in Pieris rapae

description: These datasets provide the original data for a series of laboratory and
 field studies, and associated research publications, with Pieris rapae
 from multiple populations in North America, between 2000 and 2013. These
 studies focus on thermal sensitivity of feeding, growth and life history
 traits in these populations. Details of the study site, methodology, and
 associated publications for each study are described in the associated
 document file.

 datasets provide the original data for a series of laboratory and field
 studies, and associated research publications, with Pieris rapae from
 multiple populations in North America, between 2000 and 2012. Details of
 the study site, methodology, and associated publications for each study
 are described in the associated document file:
 OPUS.Pieris_rapae_datasets.2000_2013.May2024.doc. The dataset for each
 study is provided as a separate MS .xls file.  Below we describe the focus
 of each study; the common data fields included in every datafile; and the
 unique data fields included in each particular study and datafile. For all
 datafiles and data fields, the value NA indicates not available. ## Brief
 description of each study \- QG.TPCGrowth: quantitative genetics of
 thermal performance curves for larval growth rate \- TRNGrowth: thermal
 reaction norms for larval growth rate on leaves and diet \-
 TPCGrowthxDiet: thermal performance for larval growth rate on leaves and
 diet \- LHTRN.Popn:  thermal reaction norms for life history traits for
 four populations \- LarvalTimeSize.FieldSeln: phenotypic selection of
 larval size and development time in the field ## Common fields in all
 studies \- Species: Species worked with during that study \- Population or
 Site: Site where the individuals were collected \- UniID: Unique numeric
 identifier of that individual \- Year: Year of study ## Data fields in
