Cuthill Email: i.cuthill@bristol.ac.uk EXPERIMENT 1A Data file: survivaldata_1.txt Format: tab-delimited text Column identification: Colour: The color of stripes (Green = olive-and-black, Yellow = yellow-and-black). Year: The year the transects took place. Block: Transect number (1 to 13). Treatment: Stimuli code (prefix Y = yellow-and-black, prefix G = olive-and-black, B to H = stripes spatial frequencies, suffix H = horizontal stripes, suffix V = vertical stripes). Frequency: Stripe spatial frequency codes (A to H). Orientation: Stripe orientation (H = horizontal, V = vertical) Replicate: Within block number per treatment (10 per treatment per block). Time: Time since set up when stimulus was predated (24 to 96 hours). Censor: 1 = Full event (bird predation), 0 = Censored event (non-avian predation, missing, damaged, or stimuli surviving to end). Notes: Cause of event. EXPERIMENT 1B Data file: survivaldata_2.txt Format: tab-delimited text Column identification: Block: Transect number (1 to 3). Treatment: Stimuli code (A = GA, G = GGV, H = GHV, I = GIV, J = GJV). Replicate: Within block number per treatment (10 per treatment per block). Time: Time since set up when stimulus was predated (24 to 96 hours). Censoring: 1 = Full event (bird predation), 0 = Censored event (non-avian predation, missing, damaged, or stimuli surviving to end). Notes: Cause of event. EXPERIMENT 2 Data file: detectiondata.txt Format: tab-delimited text Column identification: Transect: Transect number (1 to 3). Subject: Human participant number (1 - 18). Gender: Subject gender (M = male, F = female). Treatment: Stimuli code (prefix Y = yellow-and-black, prefix G = olive-and-black, B to H = stripes spatial frequencies, suffix H = horizontal stripes, suffix V = vertical stripes). Color: The color of stripes (Green = olive-and-black, Yellow = yellow-and-black). Replicate: Within transect number per treatment (5 per treatment per block). Orientation: Stripe orientation (N = none, H = horizontal, V = vertical). Detected: Binary code for detection (1 = detected, 0 = not detected). NotDetected: Binary code for non-detection (1 = not detected, 0 = detected). Initial Detection Distance: Distance (m) at which targets were detected. Stripe ID Distance: Distance (m) at which stripes could be identified correctly.
