Male rock hyraxes that maintain an isochronous song rhythm achieve higher reproductive success
Description
Male hyrax reproductive success and categorical song rhythm ratios dataset. The data consists of three data objects: CV data: a summary of male annual reproductive success, body weights, social status and calculated coefficient of inter-call interval variance for songs recorded in the given year. Singing effort data: summary of male annual reproductive success, body weights, social status and singing effort (singing events/total behavioral events) Rhythmic proportions data: summary of male annual reproductive success, body weights, social status and calculated proportions between on-integer and off integer inter-call-interval ratios. The provided data was used as an input for statistical analysis detailed in the paper and for drafting the corresponding figures. Scripts folder: an R script used for calculating Inter-call-interval rations, categorizing and normalizing them. A sample data set is provided
