This file explains all of the variables in each of the datasets that accompany the manuscript: Harris, Descamps, Sneddon, Cairo, Bertrand, Patrick (2020) Personality-specific carry-over effects on breeding

file: personality_scores.csv:

birdID  =  bird identifier
sex = either M (male), F (female), or NA where bird was not identified and therefore not linked to sex data
brstage = breeding stage, either incubation or chick rearing
test.num = test number, i.e. a bird’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd test, etc.
Julian = Julian date, days since Jan 1st
dur.ledge = proportion of the test spent on the window/cliff ledge
dur.flushedoff = proportion of the test spent off the nest and off the window/cliff ledge
dur.standing = proportion of the test spent standing on the nest
dur.raisedupnot standing = proportion of the test spent lifted off the nest cup, but not standing
dur.sitting = proportion of the test spent sitting on the nest\

file: activityArrivalDate.csv
birdID  =  bird identifier
season = season over which the non-breeding data spans (format yyyy-yy)
sex = either M (male), F (female)
boldness.st = boldness estimate for this individual, standardized
CAD.st = colony arrival date, in Julian format (days since January 1st)
propForaging.st = proportion of the non-breeding season spent foraging, standardized
propFlying.st = proportion of the non-breeding season spent flying, standardized
propResting.st = proportion of the non-breeding season spent resting, standardized

file: activityLayDate.csv
birdID  =  bird identifier
season = season over which the non-breeding data spans (format yyyy-yy)
sex = either M (male), F (female)
boldness.st = boldness estimate for this individual, standardized

file: activityOffspringSurvival.csv
birdID  =  bird identifier
season = season over which the non-breeding data spans (format yyyy-yy)
