Nocturnal Incubation Recess and Flushing Behavior by Duck Hens Nesting in Grizzly Island Wildlife Area 2015-2018

This dataset describes nocturnal incubation recess behavior for mallard and gadwall hens nesting in Grizzly Island Wildlife Area in breeding seasons 2015-2018. It includes the frequency, start time and duration of recesses, and details a method for determining whether a recess was initiated in response to a predator at the nest using nest temperature data. These data support the following publication: Croston, R.L., Peterson, S.E., Hartman, C.A., Herzog, M.P., Feldheim, C.L., Casazza, M.L., Ackerman, J.T., 2021.

本数据集记录了2015至2018年繁殖季，在灰熊岛野生动物保护区（Grizzly Island Wildlife Area）筑巢的绿头鸭（mallard）与赤膀鸭（gadwall）雌鸭的夜间孵卵间歇行为。数据集涵盖了该类间歇行为的发生频次、起始时间与持续时长，并详述了一种利用巢内温度数据，判断某次孵卵间歇是否因巢址遭遇捕食者而触发的分析方法。本数据集支撑以下已发表学术成果：Croston, R.L.、Peterson, S.E.、Hartman, C.A.、Herzog, M.P.、Feldheim, C.L.、Casazza, M.L.、Ackerman, J.T. 于2021年发表的《鸭类雌鸟的夜间孵卵间歇与惊飞行为（Nocturnal incubation recess and flushing behavior by duck hens）》，刊载于期刊《Ecology and Evolution》。
