Abstract
Acartia tonsa were collected from Key Largo, Florida in February 2023. A portion of the adult female copepods in this collection were parasitized by juvenile bopyrid isopods. We measured thermal limits (as Critical Thermal Maximum) for individuals with and without these parasites. Data were collected by Dr. Matthew Sasaki.
For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/955736
