Decreased energy acquisition, not the energetic costs of an immune response, can explain increased host activity and metabolic rate following infection

These files contain the raw data and R code from two experiments investigating the effect of a bacterial infection on the behaviour and metabolic rate of Nannoperca vittata, a threatened freshwater fish from south-western Australia.

The files relate to two experiments. In experiment 1 there was one treatment, with two levels: exposed to bacterial infection or not exposed (control). Measurements of standard metabolic rate, activity (track length) and boldness (emergence time) were taken three times before exposure and three times after exposure. In experiment two there were two treatments, each with two levels: Food – either starved for 7 days or maintained on a normal feeding regime; LPS – either injected with lipopolysaccharide or not injected. Measurements of standard metabolic rate, activity and boldness were taken three times before exposure and three times after exposure.

本数据集包含两项实验的原始数据与R代码，旨在探究细菌感染对条纹澳小鲈（Nannoperca vittata）行为与代谢速率的影响，该物种为澳大利亚西南部的受威胁淡水鱼类。

本数据集关联两项实验。实验1仅设置1种处理因子，包含两个水平：细菌感染暴露组与未暴露对照组。分别在暴露前、暴露后各开展3次测定，测定指标包括标准代谢率、活动能力（运动轨迹长度）与大胆性（现身时长）。

实验2设置两种处理因子，每种因子均包含两个水平：其一为摄食处理，分别为7天禁食组与正常饲喂组；其二为LPS处理，分别为脂多糖（Lipopolysaccharide, LPS）注射组与未注射对照组。分别在暴露前、暴露后各开展3次标准代谢率、活动能力与大胆性相关指标的测定。
