Animal Behaviour

Data on sniffing, proximity and relatedness of Cape ground squirrels kin discrimination experiments.

The data archived are occupancy data and capture-recapture data collected in a population of Bombina variegata over 9-years period. The file "multistate_data.txt" includes occupancy data. To investigate the influence of patch size and disturbance level on breeding occurrence, we used multistate occupancy models (Nichols et al. 2007, Gimenez et al. 2014). The data from the relevant two years of the breeding survey (2007 and 2008) was compiled in the same one dataset; one site therefore has two annual replicates with two detection occasions (July and August) each. The year was included in the model as a group effect. In the multistate model, we considered three states: a site could be unoccupied for breeding (U), occupied with non-effective reproduction (i.e. presence of eggs and larvae without metamorphosis success: L) or occupied with successful reproduction (i.e. presence of newly metamorphosed individuals: M). The observations (encoded in the txt file) were coded as undetected (0), eggs and/or larvae detected (1) and newly metamorphosed individuals detected (2). The file "data_2007-2008" includes capture-recapture data. The capture histoiries are encoded as following: for an individual captured at t and t–1, a code of 1 or 4 was attributed if it did not change patch and was in patch category s (small) or l (large) respectively, and a code of 2 or 5 was attributed if it did change patch and was in patch category s or l respectively. For an individual not captured at t–1 and captured at t in patch category s or l, a code of 3 or 6 was attributed respectively. An individual not captured at t was given a code of 0. The file "Croix_global_2000-2008_surface" includes capture-recapture data. The capture histoiries are encoded as following: for an individual captured at t and t–1, a code of 1 or 4 was attributed if it did not change patch and was in patch category l (low) or h (high) respectively, and a code of 2 or 5 was attributed if it did change patch and was in patch category l or h respectively. For an individual not captured at t–1 and captured at t in patch category l or h, a code of 3 or 6 was attributed respectively. An individual not captured at t was given a code of 0.

This data set reports nest search times and search accuracy across treatments manipulating visual and olfactory cues associated with nest entrances of the carpenter bee, Xylocopa varipuncta.

This data pertains to an analysis of cuticular hydrocarbon profiles and their plasticity as a function of the social environment (using an insect species). data sets are separated by sex and also using a combined data set (shared CHCs between the sexes). Two files contain thorax length TL data for males and females. The behaviour data set outlines responses of defensive behaviours and distance to food/oviposition source. Progenesis_condition is a file of high throughput CHC data comparing different larval diet and wild-type treatments.

Our aim was to evaluate among-individual differences in habitat use of 64 GPS collared female roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). To investigate whether deer differed in their habitat use tactics in relation to their personality type and their annual reproductive success, we assessed the link between individual habitat use patterns (the use of different habitat types, namely woodland, hedgerow, meadow, spring crop and autumn crop) with boldness (measured as the strength of behavioural responsiveness to handling) and annual reproductive success (measured by the presence/absence of fawns at heel during autumn). In the dataset, the Female.Status column corresponds to the reproductive status of a given female (successful vs unsuccessful) and its boldness (bold vs shy).

Dataset of behavioral responses to challenges as described in paper.

Data are ratings of height, physical dominance, and social dominance, physical height measured in cm. Women and females are coded -0.5, Males and men are coded 0.5. Everything else should be self explanatory.

Behaviours quantified from GPS tracking data and dual motion sensors of 42 adult, solitary brown bears moitored in south-central Sweden by the Scandinavian Brown Bear Research Project (SBBRP). Behaviours were quantified and averaged within six 10-day periods between 21. June and 19. August 2007 - 2016. We quantified individual repeatability of each behaviour and correlations among them (i.e. behavioural syndromes).
