This repository contains all analysis code used for the capuchin color vision project.
The manuscript is titled:
Trichromacy increases fruit intake rates of wild capuchins (Cebus capucinus imitator)
All code consists of a single script:
- capuchin.R
The script requires four input files containing data from the Santa Rosa Capuchin Project's database. These files are located in:
-
data/CapuchinForagingData.txt
A table with rows consisting of feeding events and associated metadata on the behavioral state, the feeding bout, the animal subject, and the feeding patch (including its phenological conditions).
-
data/FruitColoration.txt
A table with rows consisting of fruit resources utilized by Santa Rosa capuchin monkeys and associated taxonomic and color metadata.
-
data/2007_2008Dominance.xlsx
An Excel spreadsheet with date, group, individualID, and ordinal dominance rank information
-
data/FPVDetailwithVirtualCBH_Duration(Min)_May30_2017.xlsx
An Excel spreadsheet with phenological information, mostly importantly a ripe fruit score (SimpleRipeFruitScore) and a SeasonID, the latter of which has values corresponding to the PhenologyID in other datasets.
-
data/energy.txt
Energetic information about fruits involved in this study. The most important columns are the Conspicuity, Diameter, DryEnergy, and FinalEnergyRate.
