Necrodes littoralis thermogenesis dataset

This dataset contains data from the article "Foraging on larval blow flies by adult carrion beetles Necrodes littoralis (Staphylinidae: Silphinae) reduces thermogenesis in the feeding matrix formed by the beetle larvae" by Szyk et al. The file "Raw Data" contains information on the moment of observation of each individual L1 larva, pupa, and adult beetle used to calculate development time. The sexes of the insects and their weights after emergence are also included. The file "Thermogenesis" contains information derived from every thermal images. For the pre-larval phase, data from 24, 48, and 72 hours were used for each container. For calculating the larval phase ,the following hours were used. The file "Raw Data_1" contains information on larval and pupal mortality, total postfeeding larval masses, and calculated mean thermogenesis per phase.
