What do Predator.mass.identifier and Prey.mass.identifier refer to?

marknovak commented 1 year ago

These refer to the identifier in our body mass dataset. This is not uploaded to knb but you can have a copy if you want. The challenge is matching body sizes by study to the appropriate stages and using study-reported values and best estimates when not available. So we might have 5 different estimates of the size of a daphnia, and we use different ones in different places depending on the study. That identifier number tells you which of the daphnia measurement is included for that row.
