beav2: Body Temperature Series of Beaver 2

Description

Reynolds (1994) describes a small part of a study of the long-term temperature dynamics of beaver Castor canadensis in north-central Wisconsin. Body temperature was measured by telemetry every 10 minutes for four females, but data from a one period of less than a day for each of two animals is used there.

Usage

beav2

Arguments

Format

The beav2 data frame has 100 rows and 4 columns. This data frame contains the following columns:

day

Day of observation (in days since the beginning of 1990), November 3--4.

time

Time of observation, in the form 0330 for 3.30am.

temp

Measured body temperature in degrees Celsius.

activ

Indicator of activity outside the retreat.
