Headbob displays of Anolis lizards
Description
Displays of 14 male Anolis lizards were recorded in Puerto Rican forest (Ord et al. 2016),
along with key environmental characteristics. These lizards bob their head up
and down (and do push-ups) in attempts to attract the attention of females, and
advertise territory ownership to other males.
How fast a lizard bobs its head was recorded, and it was of interest to understand
which environmental features (out of temperature, light and noisiness) were
related to head bobbing speed.
Usage
data(headbobLizards)
Format
A dataframe containing:
- LizardID
A factor indicating Which lizard we are talking about. There is one observation per lizard (but more were originally collected).
- TemperatureC
Temperature, in degrees Celsius, at the location where lizard was first observed.
- AmbientLight
Ambient light recorded using a handheld sensor pointed towards the bobbing is happening.
- Bg_noise_max
Visual background noise measured using video analysis.
- Hbspd_max
Maximum head-bobbing speed.
- time
Date and time of observation.
