File contents:  

2018_Quantity_Descriptions.xlsx

List and description of quantities contained in the single-day summary metrics, and the metrics calculated at shorter intervals (hour, 5 minute, 1 minute). Also lists day number definitions, and cohort birthdates.

beetrajectories_days_000_to_049.zip, beetrajectories_days_050_to_085.zip

Single-day hdf files, each containing x-y trajectory data in the form:

• daynum:  the day number of the observation period. See 'Day numbers and cohorts' sheet in 2018_Quantity_Descriptions.xlsx
• framenum: using the camera frame rate of 3fps, the frame number with respect to that particular day
• uid:  the Unique ID of each bee
• x,y: pixel coordinate values of each bee. Conversion is 80 pixels/cm
• camera: which camera the bee was detected on: 0=exit side (with dance floor - shown at right in comb map images), 1=back side (show at left in comb map images)
• theta: orientation of the bee in the hive

Summary behavioral metrics calculated for each tracked bee on each day of the experiment. See 2018_Quantity_Descriptions.xlsx for full list and detail of quantities. Data is in the form:

df_day1min_alldays.zip, df_day5min_alldays.zip, df_dayhour_alldays.zip 

Behavioral metrics calculated over different time intervals: 1 minute, 5 minute, or 1 hour divisions. See 2018_Quantity_Descriptions.xlsx for full list and detail of quantities. Files are organized as a single .hdf file for each day. Each file contains data in the form:

Per-hour data:

5-minute or 1-minute data: 

 dfxy_dayhour_alldays.zip

x-y histogram data, calculated by using a 2cmx2cm grid and binning for each hour of each day. One file per day, and each file contains data in the form:

Convert the flattened histogram structure into a shape of [41,35] in order to view as shown in the paper or in the Data Usage Example
