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.

本数据集文件包含两项实验的原始数据与R语言代码，两项实验旨在探究细菌感染对澳大利亚西南部濒危淡水鱼类西方矮鲈（Nannoperca vittata）的行为及代谢速率的影响。
这些文件对应两项实验。实验1仅设置单一处理组，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、暴露后各开展三次测量，测量指标包括标准代谢速率、活动量（移动轨迹长度）与大胆度（现身时间）。实验2设置两项处理，每项均包含两个水平：其一为摄食处理，分为7天禁食组与正常饲喂方案；其二为脂多糖（Lipopolysaccharide，简称LPS）处理，分为脂多糖注射组与未注射对照组。同样在暴露前、暴露后各进行三次测量，测量指标涵盖标准代谢速率、活动量与大胆度。
