Code and Data for Scharf et al 2024 Animal Behaviour

Data collected from 2019-2022 on prothonotary warbler nests experimentally parasitized with brown-headed cowbird eggs. Size measurements of the chicks were taken around 6 days old, and each chick and nest were fitted with PIT tags and RFID readers respectively so the time and age of fledging was known.

本数据集采集于2019-2022年，对象为经实验性寄生褐头牛鹂（brown-headed cowbird）卵的原林莺（prothonotary warbler）巢穴。研究人员在雏鸟约6日龄时测量其体型尺寸，并为每只雏鸟及对应巢穴分别安装被动集成应答器标签（PIT tags）与射频识别阅读器（RFID readers），以此明确雏鸟的离巢时间与日龄。
