Data and code for: Conspecific interactions shape reinforcement outcomes for a translocated bird

Animals released as part of reintroduction programmes are theorised to benefit from conspecifics from earlier releases, due to habitat cues and opportunities for social learning. While the benefits of between-cohort interactions are broadly assumed, empirical evidence is lacking. Using high-resolution GPS tracking across a reintroduced population of bush stone-curlews, <i>Burhinus grallarius</i>, we investigated whether newly released animals (‘reinforcers’) interacted with previously released conspecifics (‘residents’), and whether these interactions impacted establishment.The following files are made available in figshare:movebank.zip a zip folder containing GPS tracking data in Movebank formathealthchecks.xlsx a spreadsheet of health check information for bird weightsmetadata.csv a spreadsheet of individual information on translocated birdssurvival.xlsx a spreadsheet of monitoring duration and fates of translocated birds for survival analysesbsc_reinforcement_analyses.rmd an R markdown file with all analysis used in the publication<br>
