baskingData.csv -- experimental data collected from video analysis of shrew behavior. baskingProtocol.odt -- step-by-step guide on how to execute the basking experiment. indivData.csv -- data associated to each individual shrew, including trapping data. rockDataHI.ods -- shelter temperature data collected from the iButtons and used to calculate the heterothermy index (HI). TrackingRawData.zip -- data collected from the script developed to track the shrews' position inside the terrarium.
