mass_conv_indiv_measurements

The file titled "mass_conv_indiv_measurements" contains data on the size of tapeworm individuals from 8 species. Four species grow in the final host (G) whereas the remaining four do not (NG). Some of these worms were from the Liverpool museum and their reference number is given. Worms were either measured live or preserved in formalin or ethanol. The worms were collected from either the intermediate host as plerocercoids or from definitive hosts as adults. Length, width, and mass are listed for all worms. Depth was also recorded for some worms. Area was calculated by multiplying length and width
