Data and code for scientific paper: Impacts of aerially deployed fire retardant on the survival, development, and behaviour of a threatened frog, Litoria aurea

This project contains data (and a README.txt file), R code for statistical analyses and figure generation for the study: "Impacts of aerially deployed fire retardant on the survival, development, and behaviour of a threatened frog, Litoria aurea".Data was collected in a laboratory using captive-bred frog eggs from artificial mesocosms located in the fauna park at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. Egg collection was done between 18 January 2024. Laboratory data was collected between 6 February 2024 and 12 February 2024. The aim of the study was to investigate the ecological and physico-chemical effects of exposure to a globally used aerially deployed long-term firefighting chemicals (Phos-Chek MVP-Fx) at diluted concentrations.The analyses include Linear Models, Linear Mixed Models, Generalised Linear Mixed Models, and post-hoc pairwise comparisons.The figures include a boxplots.Funding. This project is funded by The Ecological Society of Australia in the form of a Holsworth Student Award. Further, this project received funding in the form of a student award from the Frog and Tadpole Society of New South Wales.Ethics statement. All procedures were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations approved by Macquarie University Animal Ethics Committee (ARA Number: 2022/017) and in accordance with ARRIVE guidelines.
