value reflects dry soil) Soybean = above-ground part of the soybean seedling Worm = earthworm, collected form the soil core around the seedling Plot ID for plot in field experiment Treatment U = planted with untreated soybean seed, T = planted with soybean seed treated with fungicides and thiamethoxam SampleMass Mass of the sample that was analyzed for neonicotinoid residues Individuals Number of individuals in the pooled sample IndividualMass Average mass per individual in the sample THX Thiamethoxam (ppb) CLO Clothianidin (ppb;

0 = beetle did not eat the slug during the experiment SlugDeath Approximate hour of the experiment when the beetle ate the slug Censor For survival analysis, indicates right-censored observations (where beetle never ate the slug) Flip1-8 Flip time is seconds (time for beetle to right itself after being flipped) on days 1 to 8 of the experiment; values < 0.5 s recorded as 0.4; if the beetle could not flip in 30 s, recorded as 30 s DayRecov Days to recovery for the beetle, defined as days until flip time was less than or equal to one second DayDied Day of the experiment that the beetle died NA missing data
