This file contains the raw data and R-scripts used for the analysis
published in the research article: "In utero accumulated steroids
predict neonate anti‐predator response in a wild mammal"
(https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13790). A full and detailed description
of the methods can be found in the manuscript, or at request from the
author (BA). The R-scripts can be used to follow all the steps
taken in the analysis and fully reproduce the effects reported.
The file contains data taken from 185 newborn fallow deer fawns (Dama
dama), in two different cohorts. Data were taken at capture and recapture
of these fawns, during their first weeks of life. During this period,
fallow deer fawns adopt a hiding-strategy where they hide in the
vegatation from potential predators. We quantified the
responses of the fawns, namely their behaviour prior to capture; docility;
heartrate at start of capture (HRstart); Heartrate at end of capture
(HRend); latency to leave once released. In addition, we collected data on
abiotic and biotic factors, such as time of the day, air temperature and
bed site visibility among others. We also collected hair
samples, which were used to quantify chronic levels of cortisol and
testosterone. Since these are newborn fawns, these values have been
accumulated while in the womb of the mother. Specifically, we
aimed at testing whether i) newborn fawns display repeatable
differences in their response to capture, ii) whether physiological
response covaries with behavioural response, given that both are
repeatable, and whether iii) these were explained by in utero
accumulated steroids. Therefore, the names of the datasets correspond to
the responses at the capture (prior behaviour, docility HRstart, HRend,
Latency), the covariation between physiology and behavioural responses and
the analysis regarding the steroids extracted from the hair
samples.
