Data Associated with Manuscript Titled "Evolution of Primate Vocal Repertoires: Vocalization Systems as Embodied Capital for Mediating Within-group Conflict"

Description

This is a dataset used in analyses of the macroevolution of primate vocal repertoire size interpreted in the associated manuscript titled "Evolution of Primate Vocal Repertoires: Vocalization Systems as Embodied Capital for Mediating Within-group Conflict." The first tab of the data file contains the following information for each of 42 primates species: maximum longevity (years), endocranial volume (cubic centimeters), log endocranial volume, body mass (g), log body mass, group size, within-group conflict score, vocal repertoire size, and research effort (number of zoological records). The second tab of the data file contains two tables, one reports maximum longevity (years), endocranial volume (cubic centimeters), log endocranial volume, group size, within-group conflict score, and vocal repertoire size values (mean, median, standard deviation, range) aggregated at the suborder, infraorder, superfamily, and family level, while the other reports those statistics aggregated at the family level. The third tab of the data file contains ancestral node ID, ancestral node age (in millions of years), reconstructed ancestral within-group conflict values (mean, 95% lower confidence interval, 95% upper confidence interval), and reconstructed ancestral vocal repertoire size values (mean, 95% lower confidence interval, 95% upper confidence interval). A .pdf file provides visualizations of ancestral character reconstruction (ACR) models with ancestral node IDs for Z-scored within-group conflict (panel A) and Z-scored vocal repertoire size (panel B).
