Data for: Contextual behavioral interactions of common side-blotched lizards (Uta stansburiana)

These datasets are a summary of all interactions between Common
Side-blotched Lizards (Uta stansburiana) and other species. The first
(AdultUtaInteractions) contains rows that result from individual replicate
interactions during focal-animal observations in two different years. Data
include date of observation, time of focal's start, ID of Common
Side-blotched Lizard observerd, its sex, and body size as well as the
identification of the species with which this individual interacted and
its sex. Following this the are the characteristics of the focal animal
during 5 min. periods before (pre) and during/following (post) an
interaction for the focal animal's perch (height and diameter),
movement, and displays (headbobs) as their sum during those 5-min. periods
and as the difference (post less pre). Following this are interaction
intensity scores (0=no interaction, 5=most intense interaction), intensity
scores with initiation coded by sign (positive values as initiated by
focal animal, negative as by other individual). Next are display body
postures recoded during the interaction (used post-interaction only)
scored as N=none or identifying the species performing the posture. These
are repeated as effect codes (0=no posture, 1=posture used during
interaction). Finally, a notes column indicates any noted details of the
interaction. The other dataset (DailyInteractionsSums&Rates)
contains a summary of each day's data collection during this study
over the two years of study (JD=days since Jan. 1). Decimal min. contains
the total time of focal observations performed on that day. Following this
are columns containing the count of intrasexual and intersexual
interactions as well as the count of intraspecific and interspecific
interactions observed on that day. There are then two columns containing
the count of events occurring between Uta stansburiana (U.s.) and
Sceloporus occidentalis (S.o.) and between Uta and Sceloporus graciosus
(S.g.). Next time is calculated as a decimal hours basis before the count
of interactions per hour are calculated for each of the previous
categories of counts.
