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.

本批文件包含两项实验的原始数据与R代码，两项实验旨在探究细菌感染对条纹澳小鲈（Nannoperca vittata）的行为与代谢速率的影响，该物种为澳大利亚西南部的濒危淡水鱼类。
本批文件对应两项实验：实验1仅设置1个处理因子，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次数据采集，测量指标包括标准代谢率、活动能力（移动距离）与大胆性（出穴时间）。
实验2设置两个处理因子，每个因子均含两个水平：①摄食处理：禁食7天或维持正常饲喂方案；②脂多糖（Lipopolysaccharide, LPS）处理：注射脂多糖或未注射。同样在暴露前、暴露后各开展3次数据采集，测量指标包含标准代谢率、活动能力与大胆性。
