Claw-waving rate of male Austruca perplexa in peak and off-peak breeding periods
收藏资源简介:
This dataset contains the data of male (Austruca perplexa) waves produced towards females within a 30 s period in peak and off-peak breeding periods which is described in the paper: âTina FW, Muramatsu D (2021) Small males of the fiddler crab Austruca perplexa court more in the off-peak breeding period when large males court less. Journal of Ethology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10164-021-00703-4â. The data were collected to show how Austruca perplexa males adjust the rate of courtship waving in relation to their relative body size in the local population and/or the body size of females (potential mates) in peak and off-peak breeding periods. Explanation of the dataset: \"obs.date\" indicates observed date, \"period\" indicates the peak or off-peak breeding period, \"m.CW\" indicates male carapace width (mm), \"m.SC\" indicates the size class of males, \"f.CW\" indicates female carapace width (mm), \"f.SC\" indicates the size class of females, \"wav.rate\" indicates the number of waves per minut...
