Dataset for the exposure phase of the preprint: Dániel Rivas-Blanco, Lou Gonnet-dit-Revel, Friederike Range, Sabine Tebbich, Sarah Marshall-Pescini. Neophilia in wolves and dogs. bioRxiv 2025.04.24.650376 doi.org/10.1101/2025.04.24.650376 (Note: This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review - verified on: 2025-11-21)
Description (eng)
Each row of the dataset represents a trial. The columns, from left to right, are as follows: video_id (ID of the video taken by the camera trap), number_video (number of video within exposure session and animal —due to the fact that the camera trap activated at times without any of the animals being present, some videos were removed, leading to missing numbers in this column), camera (code for the camera trap), date (date the video was taken at; dd/mm/yyyy format), date_start (date at which the exposure session started), date_finish (date at which the exposure session ended), pack-owner (code for the pack the animal belongs to, or, in case of pet dogs, for the dog's owner), subject (name of the subject), session (number of exposure session for a given subject), species ("Wolf" or "Dog"), population ("pack" or "pet"; "pet" only applies to dogs), old_item (identity of the item used in the exposure phase), pair (code for the familiar-new item pair the item used for exposure belongs to), experimenter (experimenter that led the session), enclosure (enclosure in which the animal was tested), behavior ("2_body_length": the individual reaches a radius of 2 body lengths from the object, "2_body_length": the individual reaches a radius of 1 body lengths from the object, "touch": the individual touches the object, "nothing": the individual is either not present in the video, or never gets within a distance of 2 body lengths to the object), duration_interaction(s) (seconds the animal interacts with the object during the video), first_approach_2 (whether this video was the one in which the animal approached the object within 2 body lengths for the first time in the session, can be "TRUE" or "FALSE"), latency_approach_2(h) (if this video depicts the animal's first approach within 2 body lengths, the amount of time —in hours— that have passed between the beginning of the session and the time at which this video was recorded) first_approach_1 (whether this video was the one in which the animal approached the object within 1 body length for the first time in the session, can be "TRUE" or "FALSE"), latency_approach_1(h) (if this video depicts the animal's first approach within 1 body length, the amount of time —in hours— that have passed between the beginning of the session and the time at which this video was recorded), first_touch (whether this video was the one in which the animal touched the object for the first time in the session, can be "TRUE" or "FALSE"), latency_touch(h) (if this video depicts the animal's first time touching the object, the amount of time —in hours— that have passed between the beginning of the session and the time at which this video was recorded), and notes.
