Statistical method for determining No Effect Concentration (NEC)

This data record has been compiled for a statistical methods study, conducted by Abigael Proctor as part of her PhD research in 2018. The data in this record have been used to showcase a new statistical method for determining no effect concentration (NEC). The study uses the data in this record to compare NEC and LCx estimates for copper in four Antarctic marine invertebrate species. The data associated with this record are a subset of four existing larger datasets:

1. amphipod: AAS_2933_Orchomenella_pinguides_Sensitivity_metals_Davis_2010-11
2. copepod: AAS_4100_Toxicity_Copepods
3. gastropod: AAS_2933_MetaToxicityMarine_JuvenileGastropods_Kingston2007
4. ostracod: AAS_2933_MetalToxicityMarine_BrownOstracods_Kingston2007
