Male Cricket Mating Behavior and Lifespan Records from North Spain (2006-2016)

Monitoring records of a wild field cricket (Gryllus campestris) population in Asturias, Spain. Data include male cricket mating-related activities such as age, singing activity, dominance in fights, and lifespan, collected over an 11-year period from 2006 to 2016.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between singing activity and dominance in fights to model male mating success.
• Model lifespan based on age and behavioral activity records to study trade-offs in reproduction and body maintenance.
• Study temporal trends in male cricket behavior across the 11-year monitoring period in a meadow habitat.
• Correlate age with singing activity and fight dominance to understand life-history strategies in a wild insect population.

Strengths

• Longitudinal data collected over 11 years (2006 to 2016).
• Focuses on specific mating-related behaviors (singing, fighting) and lifespan for a defined insect population.
• Geographic scope is clearly defined as a meadow in Asturias, North Spain, with specified altitude range.

Limitations

• Unknown sample size (row count) and specific feature set (column count).
• Data scope is limited to male crickets and specific mating behaviors, excluding females or other ecological factors.
• Geographic bias: data comes from a single meadow location, limiting generalizability.
