measure	character	measures taken during testing [total distance moved, time spent in open arm, etc.]
unit	character	unit of the behavioural measure taken [min, s, m, number (#), etc.]

SE_imputed	character	was S.E. imputed for the offspring behaviour measure? [yes or no]
Comments	character	any comments on the data

Details

Data from experiments where dams were subject to caloric or protein restriction or were overfed around gestation were included. Offspring activity, exploration, or anxiety were measured outcomes variables from maternal experimental treatments. Multilevel meta-analysis and meta-regression models were used to analyze the meta-analytic data.

Concepts

ecology, evolution, standardized mean differences

Examples

### copy data into 'dat' and examine data
dat <- dat.besson2016
head(dat)

## Not run: 

### load metafor
library(metafor)

### compute SD from SE
dat$sd_c <- with(dat, con_se * sqrt(con_n))
dat$sd_e <- with(dat, exp_se * sqrt(exp_n))

### compute standardized mean differences and corresponding sampling variances
dat <- escalc(measure="SMD", m1i=exp_mean, m2i=con_mean, sd1i=sd_e, sd2i=sd_c,
              n1i=exp_n, n2i=con_n, data=dat, add.measure=TRUE)

### fit model
mod1 <- rma.mv(yi ~ 1, V = vi, random = list(~ 1 | study_ID, ~ 1 | comp_ID), data = dat)
mod1
