Data used in the manuscript entitled: " <strong>Not all those who wander are lost: prospecting behaviour and future settlement of male floaters in the spotless starling (</strong><em><strong>Sturnus unicolor)</strong></em><strong>." </strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<strong>— ring: </strong>identification number of each focal male<br>
<strong>— nest_dummy: </strong>name/number of the nest box where a focal male was either detected or potentially could've been detected.<br>
<strong>— distance: </strong>numerical variable expressing the distance (in meters) between the centroid coordinates and the nest dummy nest.<br>
<strong>— visited: </strong>categorical variable expressing if a male was actually detected visiting that nest box (0 = no, 1 = yes) the year before breeding.<br>
<strong>— chosen: </strong>categorical variable expressing if a male was detected breeding in that nest box (0 = no, 1 = yes) the following year.<br>
<strong>— chosen_dummy: </strong>dummy categorical variable expressing if a male was detected breeding in that nest box (N = no, Y = yes) the following year.<br>
<strong>— out_circle: </strong>dummy categorical variable indicating if the nest box was outside the median prospecting circle that was projected for each focal male.<br>
<strong>— year: </strong>factor variable enconding the year of observation of the prospecting activity.<br>
<strong>— first_brood_young_fledged: </strong>numerical variable indicating the number of chicks that fledged from a nest during the first brood round.<br>
<strong>— second_brood_young_fledged: </strong>numerical variable indicating the number of chicks that fledged from a nest during the second brood round.<br>
<strong>— annual_young_fledged: </strong>numerical variable indicating the total number of chicks that fledged from a nest during a breeding season.<br>
<strong>— second_brood_succeeded: </strong>categorical variable indicating whether at least one chick fledged from a nest during the second brood round.<br>
<strong>— body_condition: </strong>body condition (calculated as the residuals of weight versus size, the latter calculated from a PCA of tarsus, beak and wing length) of the last male  individual known to have owned the nest box. Numerical variable.<br>
<strong>— age: </strong>age (in years) of the last male individual known to have owned the nest box. Numerical variable.<br>
<strong>— ornamentation: </strong>ornamentation (calculated as the mean length (in mm) of three throat ornamental feathers)  of the last male individual known to have owned the nest box.  Numerical variable.<br>
<strong>— owner_not_returned: </strong>categorical variable indicating if the last individual known to have owned the nest box have been detected again in the colony (0 = seen again; 1 = not seen again). <br>
<strong>— feeding_rate: </strong>numerical variable indicating the mean number of times per hour a male attended their nest during the chick rearing period.
