Dataframes for: Postpartum cessation of urban space use by a female baboon living at the edge of the City of Cape Town

Species with slow life history strategies that invest in few offspring with extended parental care need to adapt their behaviour to cope with anthropogenic changes that occur within their lifetime. Here we show that a female chacma baboon (Papio ursinus) who commonly ranges within urban space in the City of Cape Town, South Africa, stops using urban space after giving birth. This change of space use occurs without any significant change in daily distance travelled or social interactions that would be expected with general risk-sensitive behaviour after birth. Instead, we suggest this change occurs because of the specific and greater risks the baboons experience within the urban space compared to natural space, and because leaving the troop (to enter urban space) may increase infanticide risk. This case study can inform methods used to manage the baboon’s urban space use in Cape Town and provides insight into how life history events alter individuals’ use of anthropogenic environments., This dataset was calculated from high-resolution GPS data, recording at 1Hz from individual tracking collars deployed on n = 16 adult baboons. GPS data was cleaned as processed as per procedures outlined in the manuscript., Dataframes are supplied in csv format.

那些采取慢生活史策略（slow life history strategies）、投入少量后代并提供延长亲代抚育（extended parental care）的物种，需调整自身行为以应对其生命周期内出现的人为环境变化（anthropogenic changes）。本研究显示，在南非开普敦市城区常见活动的一只雌性查玛狒狒（Papio ursinus），在产仔后会停止使用城区空间。这种空间利用模式的转变，并未伴随产后一般风险敏感行为（risk-sensitive behaviour）所预期的每日移动距离或社会互动的显著变化。相反，我们认为该转变源于两方面原因：一是狒狒在城区环境中面临的特定风险高于自然生境，二是脱离群体进入城区空间可能会提升杀婴风险（infanticide risk）。本案例研究可为开普敦地区狒狒城区空间利用的管理方法提供参考，并揭示了生活史事件如何改变个体对人为环境的利用模式。本数据集源自高分辨率GPS跟踪数据，由部署在n=16只成年狒狒身上的个体跟踪项圈以1Hz频率记录所得。GPS数据已按照论文中所述流程完成清洗与处理。数据框以CSV格式提供。
