Temperature-Dependent Locomotion Data of the Hissing Cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa)

This dataset contains locomotion data from 45 Gromphadorhina portentosa (Madagascar hissing cockroaches) recorded under six controlled temperature conditions: 18°C, 22°C, 26°C, 30°C, 34°C, and 38°C. Each trial of 25 minutes is stored in an individual CSV file and includes the following parameters: PID_OUTPUT and PWM – Status of the heating/cooling fan control system. PROM_TEMP – Average temperature inside the environmental control chamber. SHT1_TEMPERATURE, SHT1_HUMIDITY – Temperature and humidity from the first SHT45 high-precision sensor. SHT2_TEMPERATURE, SHT2_HUMIDITY – Temperature and humidity from the second SHT45 high-precision sensor. GY30_LUX – Light intensity measured by the first GY-30 high-precision sensor. GY302_LUX – Light intensity measured by the second GY-30 high-precision sensor. MOUSE1_X, MOUSE1_Y – X and Y positions from the first optical mouse (frontal movement). MOUSE2_X, MOUSE2_Y – X and Y positions from the second optical mouse (lateral movement). Aditionally, a file with a complete resume of the tests as well as population variables such as gender, length or life-status is also included for a better analysis. These data enable the analysis of locomotion patterns under varying thermal conditions and support research in animal behavior, environmental physiology, and bio-robotics.
