Dataset for: Do marine planktonic ciliates follow Bergmann's rule?

<p>This is a dataset used for the paper entitled "Do marine planktonic ciliates follow Bergmann's rule?" by Liu et al. This dataset includes the mean cell-size of ciliate community obtained from 282 samples from 154 stations covered from 20°S to 65°N. It also contains the biomass of ciliate community, the corresponding environmental parameters including seawater temperature and Chlorophyll <em>a</em> concentration (Chla), and the proxy for phytoplankton (prey) size estimated by two methods (see paper for details). </p>
