Cardiac performance data
<p dir="ltr"><b><u>Variables in the dataset:</u></b></p><p dir="ltr"><b>Coast:</b> Two coasts were samples for this dataset. The West coast was sampled at Namaqua National Park (NNP), the Southern coast at Garden Route National Park (GRNP).</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Temperature:</b> Thermal treatments used for the acute thermal exposure of <i>S. capensis</i>. Five thermal treatments were used (24, 29, 34, 39, and 44ºC).</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Cadmium:</b> Cadmium chloride (CdCl<sub>2</sub>) was used for the acute chemical exposure of <i>S. capensis</i>. Three concentrations were used: Control, Environmentally Relevant Concentration +10% (ERC +10%), and Environmentally Relevant Concentration +20% (ERC +20%).</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Cardiac Performance (Heart rate):</b> The resultant heart rates of <i>S. capensis</i> per minute after acute chemical and thermal exposure. individual and average heart rates are included.</p>
