Data and code for: Feeding, mating, and animal wellbeing: New insights from Phylogenetic Comparative Methods

<p class="MsoNormal">Some species tend to thrive in captivity, while others risk health and reproductive problems. This enables the use of P<span>hylogenetic Comparative Methods (PCMs) </span>to identify aspects of natural biology that predispose species to faring poorly or well. Risk factors can then suggest new ways to improve animal care. A steady trickle of studies has applied PCMs to animal welfare over the last two decades, Lewis et al. (1) <span>providing the latest. Here we contextualise this new work and suggest further research it might inspire.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Provided here are the data and R code for Figure 1 provided in a commentary on: (1) Lewis, K., M.O. Parker, L. Proops, and S.D. McBride, <em>Risk factors for stereotypic behaviour in captive ungulates</em>.
