Datasheet_A nutritionally-explicit test of the food-safety trade-off under predation risk

The dataset contains raw data collected towards understanding foraging choices and macronutrient intakes of the tropical lizard <i>Psammophilus dorsalis</i> exposed to the risk of predation. To determine how predation risk influences foraging behaviour and macronutrient intakes, we measured the foraging choices of <i>Psammophilus dorsalis</i> in large semi-outdoor enclosures, where the composition of [high C:P (carbohydrate:protein) vs. low C:P] and access to (near vs far from refuge) food options (mealworms) were manipulated. We contrasted the behaviour and stress physiology of lizards under predation risk and control conditions.
