Data and code from: Predation and the evolution of island bird plumage colouration: experimental insights from island and mainland environments

Description of the data and file structure #Information on data files deposited on Zenodo for the manuscript "Predation and the evolution of island bird plumage colouration: experimental insights from island and mainland environments". Data was collected and processed as described in the manuscript. Note: The raw data of the reflectance data for the museum specimens is not included here, as access requires permission from a third party. Camera trap photos and videos are not publicly shared due to privacy and ethical considerations (a selection of photos of the most representative animals are shared in the supplementary material of the manuscript). Requests for controlled access can be directed to [e-mail] Files and variables File: Raw_data_model_colors Description: Raw data for the 3D model reflectance colors. Usage and analysis is described in the script "Color_analysis.R" File: Raw_data_background_Brown Description: Raw data for the "brown" background reflectance colors of the natural habitats. Usage and analysis is described in the script "Color_analysis.R" File: Raw_data_background_Green Description: Raw data for the "green" background reflectance colors of the natural habitats. Usage and analysis is described in the script "Color_analysis.R" File: Color_analysis.R Description: The script describes all the steps for the colour analysis to calculate the background colour contrasts described in the manuscript. File: Stats_general_v5.R Description: The script describes all the steps for the the analysis and also shows the codes for the plots produced in the manuscript.
