Male biased sex ratio in the offspring of roe deer

Description

The file "metafor_roe_sex.csv" was used for the meta-analysis regarding the sex ratio of roe deer juveniles. It contains the columns: 

Author (author(s) of the publication, Country (country were the study was publised), Location (specific location, in case that the data set contains several different locations the term "divers" is used),  Year (year(s) were the sex of roe deer offspring were documented), Pub-Year (Year of publication) , N (number of offspring), N_female (number of female offspring), Sex ratio (primary - P or secondary - S sex ratio), Habitat conditions (F - free ranging, I - Island conditions, C - captive), Proportion female (proportion of female juveniles), Low_95 (lower boundary for the proportion of females using an exact binomial test with a 95% confidence interval), High_95 (upper boundary for the proportion of females using an exact binomial test with a 95% confidence interval), d (effect size), d_se (standard error of the effect size), North (Latitude), East (Longitude)

The file "sex_bw.csv" contains information about roe deer juveniles tacked in Baden-Württemberg. The columns read as: Year (year were the juvenile was tacked), sex (the sex of the juvenile, m- male; f- female), and Hasl (elevation in m)

The file "temp_data_comma_sep.csv" contains the montly mean values for temperature (Temp) and precipitation (NDS) for the months January, February, March, ..., December for the German federal state Baden-Württemberg (Source German Weather Service).

All data sets were used for analysis presented in: Evidence for a male-biased sex ratio in the offspring of a large herbivore: the role of environmental conditions in the sex ratio variation.

 

 

Notes

For the analysis presented in Ecology and Evolution we merged the files "sex_bw.csv" and "temp_data_comma_sep.csv". Afterwards we calculated the standard environmental lapse rate.
