Baboon approach behaviour data - Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique and Gombe National Park, Tanzania

See README file for more complete information

Overview: This dataset provides presence/absence data for each of 299 observations from Gorongosa National Park and 73 observations from Gombe National Park. Each observation is one "proximity event", where an adult/subadult baboon approached another adult/subadult baboon from outside 5 m to within 2 m. Data was first collected using BORIS (Friard and Gamba, 2016) following an ethogram (DOI:10.5281/zenodo.7314291), then cleaned using Python version 3.8.5 and R version 4.0.5 to format as a presence/absence matrix.
