Dataset accompanying publication: “Inter-Group Social Behavior, Contact Patterns and Risk for Pathogen Transmission in Cape Buffalo Populations”

This dataset supports the publication “Inter-Group Social Behavior, Contact Patterns and Risk for Pathogen Transmission in Cape Buffalo Populations”. The dataset contains 5 data files and can be used to reproduce analyses reported in the publication. The dataset consists of data derived from GPS locations recorded every hour from female Cape buffalo in 2 southern African populations (Kruger National Park: KNP and Okavango Delta: OD). We monitored collared buffalo in the former study site in 2010–2015 and the latter in 2007–2010. The data files can be opened using R once downloaded. The instructions are contained within the file "README.docx".
