Data for: Contextual behavioral interactions of common side-blotched lizards (Uta stansburiana)

These datasets are a summary of all interactions between Common Side-blotched Lizards (Uta stansburiana) and other species. The first (AdultUtaInteractions) contains rows that result from individual replicate interactions during focal-animal observations in two different years. Data include date of observation, time of focal's start, ID of Common Side-blotched Lizard observerd, its sex, and body size as well as the identification of the species with which this individual interacted and its sex. Following this the are the characteristics of the focal animal during 5 min. periods before (pre) and during/following (post) an interaction for the focal animal's perch (height and diameter), movement, and displays (headbobs) as their sum during those 5-min. periods and as the difference (post less pre). Following this are interaction intensity scores (0=no interaction, 5=most intense interaction), intensity scores with initiation coded by sign (positive values as initiated by focal animal, nega..., Data was collected by direct observations of animals as part of focal-animal observations. Each animal was observed from afar for about 30 min. Each row is a summry of a single unique observation period with summary observations divided into pre-interaction and post-interaction periods. 
Data provided in the “interactions” dataset are year of observation, replicate of observation for that individual, species of focal animal being observed, Julian date (JD) of observation (as days since Jan. 1), date of observation, start time of observation period, start time converted to decimal time, individual focal lizard identification (ID), sex of focal animal, body size of the focal animal (as snout-vent-length in mm), species of interaction partner, sex of interaction partner, average perch height of focal subject during the 5 min. before the interaction began, average perch height for the 5 min. during and following the start of an interaction, difference in average perch height (post less pre)..., Data files can be accessed using Microsoft Excel.
