Gryllus bimaculatus Aggression-Exploration Correlations Across Life Stages

A pedigreed population of field cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) males was studied to investigate age-related changes in the genetic and nongenetic bases of among-individual aggression-exploration correlations. The dataset, authored by Chang Seok Han and last updated in June 2026, includes data from nymph, young adult, and adult life stages. The analysis explores how survival selection and genetic variation in age-related behavioural plasticity explain changes in trait correlations.

Use Cases

• Modeling the evolution of behavioural syndromes based on age-related changes in genetic correlations.
• Investigating the role of survival selection in shaping trait correlations across different life stages.
• Analyzing genetic variation in behavioural plasticity based on longitudinal data from a pedigreed population.

Strengths

• Data is from a pedigreed population, enabling genetic analysis.
• Explicitly measures behavioural traits across multiple life stages (nymph, young adult, adult).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small in scale at 776.5 KB.
