Data and code to Social network positions of common waxbills are resilient to prolonged absence and manipulation of ornamental plumage

Description

Data and code to replicate the analyses in the paper "Social network positions of common waxbills are resilient to prolonged absence and manipulation of ornamental plumage" Gomes et al. (2023, Animal Behaviour). This is composed by two R script files with code to replicate analyses and custom-made functions to run specific analyses, one dataset with individuals information within the two experiments, and one set of data as R object with all the data needed to run analyses. Specifically, it contains: - 'R code _ SNA_script.R': the complete R scripts needed to replicate social network analyses present in the paper, concerning both experimental manipulation analyses. This should be the only script ran, being the others imported or sourced to R by this code. - 'data _ manipulations treatment.txt': dataset containing the experimental information of all birds present in, at least, one of the experiments. This dataframe contains the bird ID, sex, origin of waxbills prior to experiments, type of manipulation in either experiment. - 'R objects_ networks_data.RDATA': it contains the social networks, social dominance scores, and the total time in RFID system, computed for either experimental manipulation's periods. - 'R code _ DSP-BC_function.R': R script with custom-made functions to run one methodological procedure of the social network analysis.
