Metadata for Alston et al 2022 Daily torpor reduces the energetic consequences of microhabitat selection for a widespread bat

In this repository, you can find an archived directory (data.zip) containing data files (in three subdirectories), an R script that contains all code required to reproduce the results presented in the paper, and this metadata file describing the other files.

Description of data subdirectories
roost_temp_data\clean_rock: This subdirectory contains raw data for microhabitats located in rocks
roost_temp_data\clean_tree: This subdirectory contains raw data for microhabitats located in trees
torpor_data: This subdirectory contains a file (temp_torp_data_validated_final.csv) detailing all torpor behavior collected for bats in this study
weather_data: This subdirectory contains four files related to weather data used in this study:
i. custer_raws_weather_data.csv: This file contains raw weather data from the Custer SD RAWS weather station during the study period.
ii. rock_ambient_lm.csv: This file contains data required for a regression of ambient temperature on roost temperatures for rock roosts.
iii. roost_ambient_temp_data.csv: This file contains data required for a regression on the influence of ambient temperature on the mean temperature within roosts selected by bats.
iv. tree_ambient_lm.csv: This file contains data required for a regression of ambient temperature on roost temperatures for tree roosts.

All variables in data files should have informative column headers. The R script should run if the working directory is set to the directory where this repository is saved on your computer.
