What is EGrowth
-
EGrowth is a database on body growth curves of earthworm species accross the globe.
-
The data were compiled from a variety of documents published between 1950 and 2017, such as scientific publications, PhD reports, and reports, with the aim to be as exhaustive as possible.
-
The curves come with metadata that contains information about the environmental conditions in which the curves were produced.
-
A growth curve is a series of measure of body weights on a same batch of individuals.
-
Growth curves are necessary for many purpose such as making population dynamics models, assessing the toxicity of products, managing populations, decision taking and designing experiments.
-
The data base can be downloaded directly or accessed through a Graphical User Interface
-
Citing EGrowth
