In this TIEE dataset, students answer the question of whether nutrient cycling (excretion) rates of fish in lakes scale with body size and temperature as predicted by The Metabolic Theory of Ecology.

Students use data on the nitrogen and phosphorus excretion rates of fish to test hypotheses related to metabolic ecology.
