Collective behavior diverges independently of the benthic-limnetic axis in stickleback

​Comparing populations across replicate environments or habitat types can help us understand the role of ecology in evolutionary processes. If similar phenotypes are favored in similar environments, parallel evolution may occur. Collective behavior, including collective movement (e.g., schooling, flocking) and social networks, can play a key role in the adaptation by animals to different environments. However, studies exploring the parallelism of collective behavior are limited, with research traditionally focusing on morphological traits. Here, we asked if collective behavior has evolved in parallel across replicate populations of benthic and limnetic three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus). There were repeatable, population-level differences in collective behavior in a common garden, with some populations forming groups that were more cohesive and with higher strength and clustering coefficients. This suggests that collective behavior can evolve. However, these differences w..., Dataset is social behavior collected from stickleback using idTracker (https://www.idtracker.es/) and morpohlogical data collected from photos.

Article is currently in review in the Journal of Animal Ecology.

Data is from a study conducted in December 2022 - April 2023 at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. This is a laboratory study exploring the boldness, collective behavior, and morphology of three-spined stickleback fish. Upon publication, methodological details will be available in the manuscript.

## Description of the data and file structure

There are 4 data files and 1 code file. all_cb*_*means.csv is all behavior data, with the values as means of the two observations for a given individual. all_cb.csv is the same structure as the previous, but with two values per individual ...

在重复环境或不同栖息地类型间比较种群，有助于理解生态学在进化过程中的作用。若相似环境中偏好相似表型（phenotype），则可能发生平行进化（parallel evolution）。集体行为（collective behavior）包括集体运动（如鱼群、鸟群）和社会网络，在动物适应不同环境中发挥关键作用。然而，探究集体行为平行性的研究有限，传统研究多聚焦于形态特征（morphological trait）。本研究旨在探讨底栖和湖沼三刺鱼（Gasterosteus aculeatus）重复种群间的集体行为是否平行进化。在共同花园实验（common garden）中，集体行为存在可重复的种群水平差异，部分种群形成的群体凝聚力更强，且具有更高的强度和聚类系数。这表明集体行为可进化。然而，这些差异……数据集为使用idTracker（https://www.idtracker.es/）采集的三刺鱼社会行为数据，以及从照片中采集的形态数据。数据处理与分析采用Python和R语言。，，# 文章数据——集体行为的进化独立于底栖-湖沼三刺鱼的分化

数据来自2022年12月至2023年4月在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校开展的一项研究。这是一项探究三刺鱼的大胆性、集体行为及形态特征的实验室研究。文章发表后，方法学细节将在原稿中提供。在此之前，可通过电子邮件联系Kevin M. Neumann获取详情：[e-mail]

## 数据与文件结构描述

共有4个数据文件和1个代码文件。all_cb*_*means.csv包含所有行为数据，其值为特定个体两次观测的平均值。all_cb.csv的结构与前者相同，但每个个体对应两个值……
