Dietary protein and sodium co-limit cockroach growth and reproduction, 2019-2020

The dataset contains information on a feeding study done on the cockroach species Blaptica dubia. Cockroaches were assigned to a combination of treatments that contained two levels of protein (low 21% or high 27%) and three levels of sodium (low 0.06%, medium 0.15%, or high 0.3%). Cockroaches were reared until reaching maturity, growth measurements were taken every 14 days. Individuals from the same treatment were then paired to reproduce their first clutch of offspring.
