Data: Ecological variation in adult social play reveals a hidden cost of motherhood for chimpanzees

Description

All data required to replicate analyses in manuscript by Sabbi et al. Data were curated from existing long-term observational records of the Kibale Chimpanzee Project (Jan 2010 to Dec 2019) to address the hypotheses that (1) adult social play is ecologically constrained and (2) that these constraints are experienced differently by mothers compared to other adults. Each data file is linked to a specific analysis in the manuscript (Sabbi et al., 2024 Current Biology) and includes a list of variables and how to interpret them, as well as details about inclusion criteria and which specific analyses and figures is linked to each file.

Steps to reproduce

Data were collected over 10 years from wild chimpanzees in Kibale National Park, Uganda. Specific statistical approach is detailed in manuscript. All statistical tests were done in R/RStudio from freely available code and packages and examples of code are available upon request.
