README: Data from: Ecology of fear alters behaviour of grizzly bears exposed to bear-viewing ecotourism

This dataset included the data and R code used in the analyses for the article "Ecology of fear alters behaviour of grizzly bears exposed to bear-viewing ecotourism"

Description of the Data and file structure

For the full definitions of all variables and their structure please see Table 1 and Appendix 1: Table S2.

Please ignore any empty cells in the datasets, as they will be coded as N/A once they are read into R.

• Short_et_al_Data1.csv is the input data file for the detection rate model (Short_SupplementaryCode1.R) and activity pattern analysis (Short_SupplementaryCode3.R)
• Short_et_al_Data2.csv is the input data file for the age-sex class multinomial model (Short_SupplementaryCode2.R)
• Short_et_al_Data3.csv is an input data file for the activity pattern analysis (Short_SupplementaryCode3.R)
• Short_et_al_Data4.csv and Short_et_al_Data5.csv are the input data files for the detection rate model for different age-sex classes (Short_SupplementaryCode4.R)
