Thermal regimes and hatching success related data for wild king cobra nests from the Western Himalayas, Uttarakhand, India

This dataset, collected between 2009-2020, describes the thermal regimes of wild king cobra nests from the foothills of the Western Himalayas of Uttarakhand, northern India. Nest and ambient temperatures at nest sites were recorded every hour via automatic data loggers during, mostly, the latter part of incubation period (post natural nest-abandonment by female king cobras). Nest attributes (e.g. size, weight etc.) and hatching success parameters (i.e. percentage of hatched eggs and offspring size) are also provided per nest. All uploaded data have been analyzed in the paper: "House warming: wild king cobra nests have thermal regimes that positively affect hatching success and hatchling size" by Dolia et al. (currently under review in Journal of Thermal Biology.)本数据集采集于2009年至2020年，记录了印度北部北阿坎德邦西喜马拉雅山麓野生眼镜王蛇巢穴的热特征。研究主要在孵化后期（雌性眼镜王蛇自然弃巢后）开展，通过自动数据记录仪每小时同步记录巢穴温度与巢区环境温度。每个巢穴的巢址属性（如尺寸、重量等）以及孵化成功率参数（即孵化卵占比与幼蛇体型）也均已提供。本数据集上传的全部数据已在多利亚（Dolia）等人撰写的论文《暖巢效应：野生眼镜王蛇巢穴热特征对孵化成功率及幼蛇体型的积极影响》中完成分析，该论文目前正处于《热生物学杂志（Journal of Thermal Biology）》的审稿阶段。
