Data from: Image analysis of weaverbird nests reveals signature weave textures

Images of village weaver nests- 2008These are the raw images used in our texture analysis of weaverbird nests. Images are of the completed nests of: six Village weavers (Ploceus cucullatus) collected in June and July 2008, from, Laminga Village, Jos, Nigeria. The filename indicates which male build the nest (M), which of that males nests the image is of (N) and which face of the nest the image is of (e.g. front). So an image of the front of Male 1’s, second nest would be: M1N2frontVillage-weaver_2008.zipImages of Southern-masked weaver nests -2008These are the raw images used in our texture analysis of weaverbird nests. 15 Southern Masked weavers (P. velatus) from Botswana (Atholl Holme 11-KO, Gaberone) photographed in November and December 2008. The filename indicates which male build the nest (M), which of that males nests the image is of (N) and which face of the nest the image is of (e.g. front). So an image of the front of Male 1’s, second nest would be: M1N2frontSouthern-masked-weaver_2008.zipImages of Southern-masked weaver nests- 2009These are the raw images used in our texture analysis of weaverbird nests.
