File Folder Description
_metadata_NWRC-RDS-2024-002.html   Metadata file in HTML format containing a description of the content, quality, and other characteristics of the data.
_metadata_NWRC-RDS-2024-002.xml   Metadata file in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format containing a description of the content, quality, and other characteristics of the data.
_variable_descriptions.csv \Data Comma-separated values (CSV) file containing a list and description of variables found in all data files.
Duttenhefner_Klug_Incremental.csv \Data CSV file containing antipredator blackbird behavior in response to a series of propane cannon detonations at decreasing distances. This file can be used with the provided R code (\Supplements\Duttenhefner_Klug_2024_WSB.R) to analyze the results as reported in Duttenhefner and Klug (2024).
Duttenhefner_Klug_RandomAssignment.csv \Data CSV file containing antipredator blackbird behavior in response to two series of four propane cannon detonations at randomly assigned distances. This file can be used with the provided R code (\Supplements\Duttenhefner_Klug_2024_WSB.R) to analyze the results as reported in Duttenhefner and Klug (2024).
Duttenhefner_Klug_Sound.csv \Data CSV file containing sound intensity for three physical frightening devices: propane cannon, rifle, and shotgun. The sound from each tool was measured for three frequencies (8 kilohertz [kHz], 2 kHz, 0.5 kHz) at 33 locations, from 15 - 495 meters, using a sound analyzer meter (Soundtek ST-105D). This file can be used with the provided R code (\Supplements\Duttenhefner_Klug_2024_WSB.R) to analyze the results as reported in Duttenhefner and Klug (2024).
Duttenhefner_Klug_2024_WSB.R \Supplements Text file containing R code that when paired with the data files included in this package can be used to replicate the results, step by step, as they appear in Duttenhefner and Klug (2024).
