Sleeping site and forest tree plot topography and forest characteristics

Dataset comparing sleeping sites to general forest across Barbary macaques’ home ranges. Each row represents a tree plot. Columns include whether the plot was a sleeping site tree plot or forest tree plot (SSTP: SS = Sleeping Site, TP = forest tree plot), a binary variable for tree plot type (SS01), study group name (StudyGroup = Blue/Green), ID of the tree plot (PlotID), topography (Flat/Hillside/ValleyBottom), the number of times the group slept at each sleeping site (TimesSlept; not applicable for forest tree plots), the total number of trees in the plot (TotalTrees), the number of cedars in the plot (CedarNum), the average DBH of cedars in the plot (CedarAvgDBH), the average value for amount of upper branches for cedars in the plot (CedarAvgUpperBranching), average value for amount of lower branches for cedars in the plot (CedarAvgBottomBranching), and Notes. Sleeping sites for which no sleeping trees were recorded were included in analysis of topography use but not sleeping site forest characteristics. Empty tree plots were excluded from analysis of sleeping site forest characteristics because unsuitable as sleeping sites.
