Elevated temperature effects on animal personality: hormonal stress response underlying behavioural differences in the American bullfrog

Dataset for research paper submitted to Animal Behaviour Behavioural_data.csv: raw data for how individual bullfrogs performed in six different trials on an 8-arm maze before and after they were submitted to thermal stress. Behaviours analyzed: movements against the wall of the maze, posture changes, total ambulatory distance (m), and time on the centre of the arena (s). Hormone_data.csv: raw hormone (corticosterone and testosterone) data collected from individual bullfrogs in four different time points: baseline, 12 hours after stress, 24 days after stress, and 47 days after stress. Mass_data.csv: raw mass data collected from individual bullfrogs at the beginning and end of the experiment. SVL = snout-vent length. Body index is calculated as the residuals of a linear regression between mass as dependent variable and SVL as independent variable.提交至《Animal Behaviour》期刊的研究论文配套数据集如下： 1. 行为数据（Behavioural_data.csv）：记录单只牛蛙在接受热应激处理前后，于八臂迷宫（8-arm maze）中完成6组不同试验的行为原始数据。本次分析的行为指标包括：沿迷宫壁移动行为、姿势变化、总移动距离（单位：米）以及在迷宫中央区域的停留时长（单位：秒）。 2. 激素数据（Hormone_data.csv）：采集自单只牛蛙的原始激素检测数据，涉及皮质酮（corticosterone）与睾酮（testosterone），共包含四个采样时间点：基线水平、应激后12小时、应激后24天以及应激后47天。 3. 体重数据（Mass_data.csv）：记录单只牛蛙在实验起始与结束阶段的体重原始数据。 其中，SVL即吻肛长（snout-vent length），身体指数（Body index）通过以体重为因变量、SVL为自变量的线性回归残差计算得到。
