Individual-Level Trait and Predation Data for Behavioral Phenotype Research

Bradley E. Howell provides 1.2 GB of data and code supporting a study on predation and behavioral phenotypes. The repository includes individual-level trait data, metabolic rate measurements, movement and home-range metrics, habitat-use estimates, trophic position data, growth measurements, and predation outcomes. All scripts required to reproduce the statistical analyses and figures are included.

Use Cases

• Modeling predation risk based on individual-level trait data and movement metrics.
• Analyzing the relationship between behavioral phenotypes and habitat-use estimates.
• Investigating trait integration and variation using PCA scores and growth measurements.
• Reproducing ecological analyses with the provided R and QMD scripts.

Strengths

• Includes a wide range of data types: trait data, metabolic rates, movement metrics, habitat-use, trophic position, growth, and predation outcomes.
• All analysis scripts (R, QMD) are provided for full reproducibility of the study's findings.
• Dataset is substantial at 1.2 GB, suggesting detailed individual-level records.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Raw acoustic telemetry detection data are not directly included and require a separate request.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific modeling tasks.
