InjuryHealing_toDryad

Data are healing rates for injuries observed in wild baboons and metadata for each injury, including age, ordinal dominance rank, proportional dominance rank, whether the injury occurred in a wild or garbage-feeding group, season, and group size. Injury healing data are reflected in the days to heal or be censored and whether the record is censored. Censored records are injuries that failed to heal by the final observation. The injuries in this study were observed between 1982 and 2011. They were not clinical diagnoses; instead, observations were collected non-invasively by watching the animals at a distance of a few meters. Whenever a baboon displayed signs of injury (e.g., limping, bleeding from a wound), observers used an established protocol and data sheet to record the type of injury and whether it impaired the animal's locomotion.
