About time: synchrony in onset of parental care influences cooperation and offspring performance in a burying beetle
Description
This data file consists of a comma separated values spreadsheet (.csv), which provides data on the effects of synchrony in the onset of parental care on parental cooperation. Each line in the spreadsheet represents a pair. pair_id – individual ID of the pair. m_treatment – male experimental treatment f_treatment – female experimental treatment. m_mass_before_breeding – male mass before breeding (g). m_mass_after_breeding – male mass upon larval dispersal from the carcass(g). f_mass_before_breeding – female mass before breeding (g). f_mass_after_breeding – female mass upon larval dispersal from the carcass(g). carcass_mass – mass of the mouse provided to the pair for breeding (g). f_direct – number of scans spent providing direct care to the larvae by the female. f_indirect – number of scans spent providing indirect care to the larvae by the female. m_direct – number of scans spent providing direct care to the larvae by the male. m_indirect – number of scans spent providing indirect care to the larvae by the male. number_larvae – number of larvae that dispersed from the carcass. average_larval_mass – the average larval mass of the brood upon dispersal from the carcass (g).
