Variable	Explanation
ContainerID	"container identifier"
Diet	"type of feed substrate: CF = chicken feed, CM = chicken manure, CS = camelina"
Density	"larval density, in number of neonate larvae (0, 50, 100, 200) per container added to the feed substrate on day 0"
Replicate	"replicate within a Diet x Density combination (1-4)"
Day	"batch number (day 1 or 2), consecutive days"
TotalFeedDM	"total amount of feed substrate on day 0, in gram dry matter"
TotalWater	"total amount of water in the feed substrate on day 0, in gram"
SurvivalRate	"proportion of surviving larvae and prepupae on day 15 compared to number of neonate larvae added on day 0 minus larvae sampled for DNA sequencing"
pPrepupae	"proportion of prepupae from total surviving larvae and prepupae on day 15"
pHres	"substrate pH on day 15"
pDMLarv	"dry matter content of larvae on day 15, in proportion of fresh matter"
dmLarvTot	"individual larval weight on day 15, in gram dry matter"
dmLarvInd	"total larval biomass on day 15, in gram dry matter"
pDMRes	"dry matter content of substrate on day 15, in proportion of fresh matter"
dmResTot	"total residual substrate on day 15, in gram dry matter"
Reduction	"percentage of feed substrate reduction, calculated as: 100 * (TotalFeedDM - dmResTot) / TotalFeedDM"
