Introductory gestures before songbird vocal displays are shaped by learning and biological predispositions

All of the songs used in this study were collected in the undirected condition (i.e. when no other bird was present). Data_ProceedingsB_RSPB-2020-2796.zip contains data and matlab script files for generating all of the main and supplementary figures. Data are in the form of .mat files that contain all of the necessary variables related to the analysis. In addition, for each bird we have included text files that provide details for all song bouts used for analysis. Specifically, these files have onset and offset times, and syllable identity labels for all syllables. We have provided a detailed ReadMe that describes usage of scripts and provides details of data.

本研究所用全部鸟类鸣唱歌曲均采集于非定向鸣唱条件下（即无其他鸟类在场的状态）。压缩包Data_ProceedingsB_RSPB-2020-2796.zip 包含了用于生成所有主论文图表及补充材料图表的数据文件与Matlab脚本文件。数据以.mat格式文件存储，内含分析所需的全部必要变量。此外，我们为每只受试鸟类提供了文本文件，详细记录了所有用于分析的鸣唱串。具体而言，这些文本文件包含了所有鸣唱音节的起始时间、终止时间，以及对应音节的身份标签。我们还提供了详尽的ReadMe文档，用于说明脚本的使用方法，并对数据集的各项细节进行说明。
