Bond et al. Giraffe Social Dispersal

This dataset 'Giraffe Dispersal Modeling' contains data about social and spatial dispersal outcomes, and covariates, from 137 giraffe calves (67 male and 70 female) in the Tarangire Ecosystem, Tanzania, from 2012-2018. Includes ID, sex, natal social community membership, social and/or spatial dispersal outcome, net displacement distance in kilometers (end distance from origin), age (in months) of dispersal, age of first sortie, age first seen in bachelor herd, and mean distance of community members from boma or town, mean proportion of preferred vegetation in natal community's home range, and mean population density in the natal community. R code 'Spatial Dispersal Check' is to fit a smoothed line to the distance data for a calf whose final detection was beyond the distance threshold (see main text). Code calculates how many detections occur after the fitted line exceeds the threshold that are beyond the threshold distance.
