Experimental data on the effects of heavy metal compounds on the development, survival, and bioaccumulation patterns in <em>Calliphora vicina</em> larvae

This dataset contains experimental data obtained from laboratory assays investigating the effects of increasing concentrations of heavy metal compounds on the development, survival, and bioaccumulation in Calliphora vicina larvae. Individuals were exposed to different concentrations of arsenic trioxide, phenylmercury acetate, cadmium acetate, and lead acetate, and responses were measured in terms of larval length, weight, and survival rate. Bioaccumulation was assessed by comparing the metal concentrations to which larvae were exposed with those detected in larval tissues after the rearing period, as well as concentration measurements of substrate and larval samples. It also contains both raw and processed survival data, in which the number of surviving larvae was recorded.
