This is the main data directory for the cyst germination function.

The amy* files are data from a wgom strain taken near Casco Bay that was
collected by the Anderson Lab (named Amy for Amy Bronzino who collected
parts of the data).  These files contain arrays named lgt2, lgt4 etc. or
drk2, drk4 etc. depending on the light condition/temperature. For a hard-copy 
of the original data, contact Don Anderson (danderson@whoi.edu)  

Note: if you obtain a hard-copy, be careful with 6C dark value at 62 days, 
      the actual value is 72.5.  (The plot in the hard copy is correct)

The egom* files were collected by Maureen Keller and Paty Matrai from near
the Bay of Fundy (contact pmatrai@bigelow.org).

The files egom_light_rates, egom_dark_rates, wgom_light_rates, and 
wgom_dark_rates contain the estimated slope (see gfit.m) and the width
of the 90% confidence intervals for each tested condition.

Some older data is in Bruce_85_data and Old_don_data.  While the Bruce 85 data
was used to constrain early versions of the germination function, it was
later decided to stick with the newer experiments once they were available.
