Pulses of anthropogenic food availability appear to benefit parents, but compromise nestling growth in urban Red-winged Starlings: dataset

Dataset associated with the publication "Pulses of anthropogenic food availability appear to benefit parents, but compromise nestling growth in urban Red-winged Starlings" in the journal Oecologia. Includes data on UCT-resident Red-winged Starling adult foraging behaviour and diet, nestling provisioning rates and diet, nestling mass and structural size and adult body mass changes in relation to fluctuating human presence on UCT's upper campus. Most data were collected in 2017, some nestling data from 2018.

本数据集与发表于《生态学》期刊的论文《城市红翅星鸦的食源波动对亲鸟有益，但对雏鸟成长构成威胁》相关。数据涵盖居住于UCT的成年红翅星鸦的觅食行为及饮食结构、雏鸟喂养频率及饮食、雏鸟体重及体型结构以及成鸟体重变化等，这些数据与人类在UCT上校园的频繁出现有关。大部分数据于2017年收集，部分雏鸟数据来源于2018年。
