Wild Field Cricket Population Monitoring in Asturias (2006-2016)

Environmental Information Data Centre provides monitoring records for a population of Gryllus campestris field crickets. The dataset includes birth and death days, age at capture, air temperature, and calling activity collected from 2006 to 2016 in a meadow in Asturias, North Spain.

Use Cases

• Analyze actuarial senescence by modeling mortality rates from birth and death days across the 10-year study.
• Study phenotypic senescence by correlating calling activity patterns with age at capture records.
• Investigate environmental effects on behavior by examining calling activity in relation to air temperature measurements.
• Model population dynamics using birth and death days to estimate survival and lifespan distributions.

Strengths

• Data spans a longitudinal study of 10 years from 2006 to 2016.
• Includes multiple linked variables for demographic and behavioral analysis: birth/death, age, temperature, and activity.
• Records a specific, monitored population in a defined geographic area (Asturias, North Spain).

Limitations

• Sample size and row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Geographic scope is limited to a single meadow in Asturias, reducing generalizability.
• Column names and data structure are unspecified, requiring exploration before analysis.
