Description
Summary:Supporting data for "The effect of an experimental decrease in salinity on the viability of the subarctic planktonic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina incompta ". Polar Research 2020, 39, 3842, http://dx.doi.org/10.33265/polar.v39.3842 Data with observations of the response of cultured specimens of N. incompta to 4 salinity treatments. Sample_ID: Specimen identifierDay: time reference of the observationActivity (1,0): presence of rhizopodial networkShell diameter (µm): size of the shellRhizopodia_max_length (µm): maximum rhizopodial extentRatio: indicator of "Rhizopodial activity" Treatment: Salinity level (Ctrl= 35 PSU). Note that since the photographed foraminifera were not oriented in a standardized manner in the culture flask, the maximum shell diameter measured showed variability.
