Population growth rates for most species were directly proportional to temperature, hence at low temperature the population reached a max around 61 days whereas at higher temperature the max was reached at 28 days (Fig. 1 and Table 2). For some species the abundance flattened or decreased from 61 to 84 days. Effects for the individual species of contamination, temperature and the interactions between both treatments and temperatures over time were analyzed and results may be seen in the supplementary information
