n_con_dam integer sample size of the control dam groups
n_exp_dam integer sample size of the experimental dam groups
multi_use_con character were control groups used multiple time? [yes or no]
dam_housing character how were dams housed? [pair, group, or single]

litter_size_equalized character has litter size been equalized? [yes or no]
crossfostered character have pups been cross-fostered? [yes or no]
sex character sex of the offspring that were tested [m = male, f = female, both = mixed sex]

authors_behaviour_classification character author's classification of offspring behaviour [anxiety, exploration, or activity]
our_behaviour_classification character our classification of offspring behaviour [anxiety, exploration, or activity]
response_test character type of test used [elevated T-maze (ETM), open field, etc.] to measure offspring behaviour
time_trial integer duration of the testing [min]
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.]
high_better character for activity and exploration, a higher number is assumed to be better (i.e., animals were more active), but the opposite was assumed for anxiety (i.e., they were more anxious) [yes or no]
night.day character time of day when behaviours were measured [night or day]
comparison character for a given control-treatment group comparison, animal group codes as used in the original article [e.g., LP, HP]. This field allows identification of exactly which data (i.e., comparison of which pairs of groups) were extracted from the original paper, and is not used in our analyses. For our analyses the groups were re-coded as control/experimental.

con_n integer sample size for the offspring control group
con_ID character identifier for shared control groups within experiment
percentage character is the offspring behaviour measure a percentage? [yes or no]
Data_source character figure or table number in the original paper from which the data were extracted
measure_comments character any comments on the offspring behaviour measures
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

## End(Not run)
