Damselfly Tibia Area and Male Mating Success Data

79.9 KB of tabular data from figshare, authored by Ilju Yang and last updated on 2026-04-13. The dataset contains measurements of male damselfly morphology, including tibia area and abdomen length, alongside daily pairing success records and environmental variables like temperature and UV level.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between tibia area and daily pairing success based on the 'pair' and 'tibia' columns.
• Analyzing the effect of environmental factors like temperature and cloud cover on mating behavior.
• Calculating allometric slopes for damselfly populations using hindwing and tibia measurements.
• Studying male resighting frequency and observation span based on 'resight' and 'maxobs' columns.

Strengths

• Includes multiple morphological measurements (tibia area, abdomen length, hindwing length) for detailed analysis.
• Contains environmental covariates (temperature, UV, cloud cover) for contextual modeling.
• Data is structured in three distinct files for specific analyses (pairing success, resighting, allometry).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2026-04-13 16:00:04; freshness should be verified.
