Survival, age distribution and body size along a latitudinal gradient in Sweden, 1967 - 1971

Survival, age distribution and body size along a latitudinal gradient in Sweden. It consists of two data-files. These data were used to analyze the effect of latitude on age distribution, survival and body size of red fox in Sweden. Data consists of harvested foxes were collected between 1967 to 1971. Age distribution and survival followed Analysis followed Skelly, B.P., Clipp, H.L., Landry, S.M., Rogers, R., Phelps, Q., Anderson, J.T. & Rota, C.T. (u.å.).

The results are presented in a manuscript about to be placed on bioXriv (2026-06-27). Data are provided in two files: - Data_List_Age_Dist.txt (An R-list for the JAGS-model on age distribution and survival.) - Weight_Data.csv (Data on weight, sex and age of collected foxes in different regions of Sweden, 1967-1971.) File: Weight_Data.csv Description: Variables Nr: Fox ID Year: Year of harvest Region: Region of harvest Age: Age at harvest Sex_f: Sex, male or female Weight: Weight without pelt File: Data_List_Age_Dist.txt Description: Variables y: A matrix of harvested fox with age as columns and region*sex as rows N: sum of columns for age S: Number of age classes G: Number of sex*region categories sex: A vector of sex categories, 0 = male, 1= female area: A vector of region categories from north (1) to south (4)
