R Code for Statistical Analysis of Bumblebee Choice Latency

An R script used to perform all statistical analyses of choice latency reported in the supplementary materials for a study on temporal consistency of judgement biases in bumblebees. The analyses were conducted on the full dataset without excluding values greater than 1.5 times the interquartile range. The script was authored by Luigi Baciadonna and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Replicate statistical analyses of choice latency data from the referenced bumblebee study.
• Adapt the provided R code for analyzing similar behavioral time-series data in other animal cognition experiments.
• Examine the analytical approach for handling full datasets without outlier exclusion based on the interquartile range.

Strengths

• The script is directly associated with a peer-reviewed scientific study, providing methodological transparency.
• The description specifies the analytical decision to use the full dataset without outlier exclusion based on a 1.5x IQR rule.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation for the underlying data is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size of the underlying data are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited to the script's purpose; actual data quality requires manual inspection.
