Description of dataset These data were generated to investigate the social network structure, individual importance within each network (closeness centrality), and influence of genetic relatedness on social interactions for adult western diamondback rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox). 2.

Fifty adults (22 males 28 females) were tracked using radio-telemetry, but pertinent behavioral and genetic data for numerous additional snakes not radio-tracked were also included. Observations related to pairing behavior (associated with reproduction) of males and females were noted throughout the study. The number of offspring produced between unique pair combinations of males and females was determined using DNA-based information from previously published data (Clarke et al. 2014, PLoS ONE 9: e90616). It was also noted which snakes overwintered in the same communal shelter (den) each year of the study. Data for pairing behavior, parentage, denning, and pairwise values for genetic relatedness of all genotyped individuals were compiled into distinct matrices. Sex and spatial and morphometric data were used as predictors of closeness centrality. DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Tetzlaff et al. Rattlesnake Networks Data.xlsx Tab 1: Pairing Network 1. Number of variables: 1 2. Number of rows: 80 3. Number of columns: 57 4. Variable list: Snake ID: Unique identifier for each snake 5. Missing data codes: None 6. Abbreviations used: None 7. Other relevant information: Ids ending in m are males (rows) and Ids ending in f are females (columns). 1 or 0 indicates whether a male-female pair were observed engaging in pairing behavior or not, respectively.

Variable list: Snake ID: Unique identifier for each snake 5. Missing data codes: None 6. Abbreviations used: None 7. Other relevant information: Ids ending in m are males (rows) and Ids ending in f are females (columns). Values indicate the number of offspring produced by a male-female pair. DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Tetzlaff et al. Rattlesnake Networks Data.xlsx Tab 3: Denning Network[TSJCUC(2] 1. Number of variables: 1 2. Number of rows: 51 3. Number of columns: 51 4. Variable list Snake ID: Unique identifier for each snake 5. Missing data codes: None 6. Abbreviations used: None 7. Other relevant information: Ids ending in m are males and Ids ending in f are females. Values indicate the number of times a pair of snakes were observed sharing a winter shelter (den). DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Tetzlaff et al. Rattlesnake Networks Data.xlsx Tab 4: CC Predictors 1. Number of variables: 6 2. Number of rows: 137 3. Variable list: ID: Unique identifier for each snake Sex: male or female SVL: snouth to vent length (mm) of each snake Mass: Mass (g) of each snake MCP_ha: Annual home range size (hectares) of each snake years_monitored: Number of years each snake was monitored with radio-telemetry 4. Missing data codes: None 5. Abbreviations used: SVL; snout-vent length MCP; minimum convex polygon ha; hectares NA; not applicable 6. Other relevant information: Ids ending in m are males and Ids ending in f are females. NA for MCP_ha indicates a snake was not radio-tracked. DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Tetzlaff et al. Rattlesnake Networks Data.xlsx Tab 5: Relatedness Matrix 1. Number of variables: 1 2. Number of rows: 51 3. Number of columns: 51 4. Variable list Snake ID: Unique identifier for each snake 5. Missing data codes: None 6. Abbreviations used: NA; not available 7. Other relevant information: Ids ending in m are males and Ids ending in f are females. Values represent pairwise genetic relatedness among individuals. NA indicates pairwise relatedness values were not available for a given pair of snakes. [TSJCUC(1]This description will be dependent on whether Jef used the binary or weighted network for this analysis. Based on the description in the ms, it looks like the weighted network was used? [TSJCUC(2]Theres a row and column at the end of the matrix that has no snake ID???
