NBDA code from Social learning in otters

This R script contains the code to run NBDAs on the smooth-coated otter dat

Boogert et al. Raw Data

This datafile contains three worksheets. The first worksheet displays all the PIT-tag data as automatically recorded by the PIT-tag readers integrated in the bird feeder entrances (or 'antennae'; column E). The second worksheet contains information on the relatedness of birds, their life history traits, sex (1=male, 0=female) and CORT-treatment (1 = fed with CORT, 0 = control, NA=adult). The third worksheet contains info on the leg band numbers worn by the birds (referred to in the first worksheet) and their indices as reported in the second worksheet. Note that ID 100 refers to the experimenter (NJB)

Behavioural and morphological measurements of great tits Parus major

Behavioural (problem-solving, learning and neophobia) and morphological (age, body condition and colour variables-see the associated manuscript for details on the colour variables used) measurements of wild great tits in Gotland (Sweden) in 2010 and 2011

Total number of seeds mates scrounged from each other in assortative pairs (mean ± SE, <i>N</i> = 10, white bar) and disassortative pairs (<i>N</i> = 11, black bar).

<p>Total number of seeds mates scrounged from each other in assortative pairs (mean ± SE, <i>N</i> = 10, white bar) and disassortative pairs (<i>N</i> = 11, black bar).</p

Repeatabilities (<i>r</i>) of male task performance.

<p>Significant results are given in bold.</p

The thick black bars indicate perches, the brown cylindrical objects are nest baskets, the small blue rectangles are nest-material dispensers and the small grey circular objects are water bottles.

<p>The left side of the aviary contained the stalk habitat and the right side the lid habitat. The four white rectangles with foraging task symbols represent the foraging patches. The two patches in the middle contained 16 stalk or 16 lid tasks each, whereas the patches next to the nest boxes contained 34 stalk or 34 lid tasks each. The aviary was 2.3 m high. Foraging patches were placed on tables 90 cm above the aviary floor to facilitate the recording of all foraging occurrences and social interactions. Nest baskets, nest material dispensers and water bottles were positioned 50 cm above the tables with foraging patches.</p

Timeline of the different test phases.

<p>Capitals refer to the test phases as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0014340#pone-0014340-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. “T” indicates continued training on the foraging tasks. Subscripts indicate the test trial numbers for the Control, No-Interaction and Interaction test phases.</p

Repeatabilities (<i>r</i>) of female preferences for stalk male's compartment.

<p>Repeatabilities (<i>r</i>) of female preferences for stalk male's compartment.</p

Mean proportion of time (± SE) that females trained on the lid task (<i>N</i> = 16, dark grey bars) and females trained on the stalk task (<i>N</i> = 15, light grey bars) spent facing the stalk male's compartment in each of the four (A) No-Interaction and (B) Interaction test trials.

<p>Chance proportion, indicating random choice, is 0.5.</p
