Research data supporting “Seasonal changes in neophobia and its consistency in rooks: the effect of novelty type and dominance position”

Data is contained in two excel sheets. One contains behaviour during trials in response to novel and familiar people (People trials data), the other contains behaviour during trials in response to novel objects and food controls (Object trials data). Explanation of column titles in datasheets: Observation: Date(YYYYMMDD) Trial_number Trial_feeding_position Birds: Name of individual bird Season: 1 (Breeding), 0 (Non-breeding) Trial_number: Trial number of that day Num_eaten: Number of larvae eaten by that individual during that trial Bird_order: Birds’ approach rank (1 = 1st to arrive, 2 = 2nd to arrive, etc) Approaches: Does that bird approach? Y = 1, N = 0 Time_approach: Approach time in seconds from beginning of trial. Birds that approached in less than 1 second were assigned to 0.1. Location: Trial took place on a Table or on the Floor Perct_food: (People trials datasheet ONLY) percentage of total food consumed that was eaten by this individual Condition: Test or Control condition Dominance: That individual’s rank during that season Sex: Male or Female

本数据集存储于两张Excel工作表中。其中一张记录了受试个体对陌生与熟悉人类的试验行为（以下简称人类刺激试验数据（People trials data）），另一张记录了受试个体对陌生物体与食物对照的试验行为（以下简称物体试验数据（Object trials data））。

以下为各数据表列标题的详细说明：
- Observation：观测项，包含日期（格式为YYYYMMDD）、当日试验编号、试验投喂位置
- Birds：受试个体鸟类的名称
- Season：繁殖状态，1代表繁殖季（Breeding），0代表非繁殖季（Non-breeding）
- Trial_number：当日的试验编号
- Num_eaten：该个体在本次试验中取食的幼虫数量
- Bird_order：鸟类的抵达顺位（1为首个抵达，2为第二个抵达，依此类推）
- Approaches：该鸟类是否靠近刺激源，Y对应取值1，N对应取值0
- Time_approach：从试验开始至鸟类靠近的时长（单位：秒）；若鸟类在1秒内完成靠近，则记为0.1秒
- Location：试验开展场地，分为桌面（Table）与地面（Floor）两类
- Perct_food：仅适用于人类刺激试验数据表，代表该个体取食量占本次试验总食物消耗量的百分比
- Condition：试验条件，分为测试组（Test）与对照组（Control）
- Dominance：该个体在当季的优势顺位
- Sex：个体性别，分为雄性（Male）与雌性（Female）
