The effect of temperature and photoperiod on trade-offs between dispersal and fecundity during development of Lycaena phlaeas (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

Abstract

This dataset contains raw data of adult weight, abdomen weight, thorax weight, development time, wing measurements (length, width and area) and pupa weight loss of small copper used for analyses and figures in the research described in chapter 5 of PhD thesis. In this study, we investigated how trade-offs between dispersal and reproduction alter as a consequence of temperature and photoperiod, mimicking seasonal changes. We have also included the R scripts for data analyses in this dataset.
