Data and code for whole group tracking reveals that relatedness drives consistent subgrouping patterns in white-nosed coatis

Three groups of wild white-nosed coatis were tracked with GPS collars between 2021 and 2023. Two groups (Galaxy and Trago) were tracked in Soberania National Park (SNP) (9° 12’ N, -79° 70’ W) and one group (Presidente) were tracked on Barro Colorado Island (BCI) (9° 16’ N, -79° 83’ W), Panama. Almost all group members were equipped with GPS collars that recorded one GPS fix every 10 minutes from 0600-1800 and 1 fix every hour from 1800-0600. Collars collected data for 15-21 days depending on the group. Adult males and one adult female from a different group were also collared during the Presidente collar period. Analysis was done in R, all scripts are in the coati_subgrouping_code folder, where there is a README file describing the code in more detail. Data are in the coati_subgrouping_data folder where there is a README describing the how the data are organised and structured.
