A refined method for studying foraging behaviour and body mass in group-housed European starlings.
<p>Datasets and R script corresponding to the following manuscript:</p> <p>A refined method for studying foraging behaviour and body mass in group-housed European starlings.</p> <p>Laboratory experiments on passerine birds have been important for testing hypotheses regarding the effects of environmental variables on the adaptive regulation of body mass. However, previous work in this area has suffered from poor ecological validity and animal welfare due to the requirement to house birds individually in small cages to facilitate behavioural measurement and frequent catching for weighing. Here we describe the social foraging system, a novel technology that permits continuous collection of individual-level data on operant foraging behaviour and body mass from group-housed European starlings (<em>Sturnus vulgaris</em>). We demonstrate rapid acquisition of operant key pecking, followed by foraging and body mass data from two groups of six birds maintained on a fixed-ratio operant schedule under closed economy for 11 consecutive days. Birds gained 6.0 ± 1.2 g (mean ± sd) between dawn and dusk each day and lost an equal amount overnight. Individual daily mass gain trajectories were non-linear, with the rate of gain decelerating between dawn and dusk. Within-bird variation in daily foraging effort (key pecks) positively predicted within-bird variation in dusk mass. However, between-bird variation in mean foraging effort was uncorrelated with between-bird variation in mean mass, potentially indicative of individual differences in daily energy requirements. We conclude that the social foraging system delivers refined data collection and offers potential for improving our understanding of mass regulation in starlings and other species.<strong> </strong></p>
Inventory of Policy Interventions related to Energy and Transport Behaviours
<p>User behaviour is a complex issue, as it is influenced by a multitude of factors from economic status, age, education, political environment etc. The WHY project aims to identify the possible user reactions and their effect on the energy consumption due to external stimuli. In context of the WHY project these external stimuli are called “interventions”. In this chapter different approaches for policy driven interventions are discussed and presented. </p>

Data from: Group size and dispersal ploys: An analysis of commuting behaviour of the pond bat (Myotis dasycneme)
<p>This study aimed to provide a description on how Pond bats (<em>Myotis dasycneme</em>) disperse, how to recognize a commuting route, and details about the effort needed to make a complete survey of one commuting route. The study area covered the provinces of Zuid-Holland, Overijssel, Friesland, Noord-Holland, and Utrecht. During 6 years of study between 2002 and 2009, researchers and bat volunteers studied pond bats along several waterways (all waterways wider than 10 m) between known roosts and their hunting areas. All the observations were made between April and September, starting 20 min before sunset. During the entire observation effort, the time (in hours and minutes) and direction of each bat was recorded. The time that each bat passed the observation location was later transformed to minutes after sunset. The number of animals on commuting route was related to the number of animals present in their respective roost.</p> <p> </p> <p>Data are organized in 3 files: <strong>commuting data 10 minutes.csv</strong>, <strong>commuting data.csv</strong> and <strong>observations waddinxveen.csv</strong>. The variables in these data files are explained here:</p> <p>Date: the observation date</p> <p>Location description: description of the location</p> <p>X Y: The coordinates of the location in RD. The RD (Rijks-Driehoek) system is the coordinate system used by the Dutch geographical service.</p> <p>Long Lat: The coordinates of the location in longitude and latitude.</p> <p>Distance over water: commuting distance over water.

Data from: Male long-distance migrant turned sedentary; The West European pond bat (Myotis dasycneme) alters their migration and hibernation behaviour
<p>Winter survey data, temperature data and mark recapture data of <em>Myotis dasycneme</em>. This study aimed to better understand the migration, mating and hibernation choices of the pond bat.</p> <p> </p> <p>The study area covered the whole of the Netherlands, Belgium and East Frisia (northwest Germany). We defined two study periods, data collected between 1930 and 1980 (Sluiter and van Heerdt) and data between 1980 and 2015 (Haarsma). All available mark and recovery data (ringing) of both the historical and recent migration research were digitized. Observations include location and date of capture, species, sex and ring number. The latest observations in the recent dataset (Haarsma) also include biometric measurements (forearm length, body mass) and information about age and reproductive status. These biometric measurements show that male pond bats are on average smaller and lighter than females (body mass (g)/ forearm length (mm) females: 18.9/47.1, males: 16.4/46.4). The dataset shows changes in the fat mass of both sexes during a year.</p> <p>This study also compares migration data with winter monitoring survey data. We selected winter roosts with three or more records of three or more pond bats in one or both of the study periods. Only data from sites with long-term data series (from the hibernacula in the Dutch provinces of Zuid-Holland, Gelderland and Limburg) were used to analyse trends and annual abundance. Our selection included 59 limestone mines in the province of Limburg and 16 WOII bunkers in Gelderland and 38 in Zuid-Holland.

Survey data on behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption of participants of the SmartFood Urban Living Lab in Warsaw, Poland
<p>In this dataset, we present raw data of a survey on behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption, conducted between June 2023 and April 2024 among a group of 21 households from Warsaw, participating in a SmartFood Urban Living Lab (ULL). The dataset is complemented with results collected from two control groups. The SmartFood Urban Living Lab was an intervention aimed at providing residents of urban blocks of flats with a novel technology for growing their own food. The ULL served as an experimental ground for testing and refining innovations such as hydroponic cabins, rainwater management systems, solar energy systems, and insect farming units. Residents actively participated in the lab, providing valuable insights into the practical challenges and benefits of urban farming, which helped refine and adapt the technologies for broader application. After each month of the intervention, a survey was conducted to check participants' behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption</p>

Monitoring knowledge, risk perceptions, preventive behaviours and trust to inform pandemic outbreak response.
<p>The study is part of the large project promoted by WHO Regional Office for Europe called “<em>Monitoring knowledge, risk perceptions, preventive behaviours and trust to inform pandemic outbreak response</em>” and carried out in over 30 countries of the WHO European Region (Registered ISRCTN on 11/05/2021, ID: ISRCTN26200758). In Italy, the survey was conducted administering an online questionnaire developed <em>ad hoc</em> by the WHO in four waves (January-May 2021) to a sample of 10.000 individuals aged 18-70 years. A detailed sampling plan was developed to obtain a representative sample of the Italian adult population. The following variables were taken into account for stratification of the participants: gender by age (four age groups: 18-34 years, 35-44 years, 45-54 years, 55-70 years); geographical area (four areas: North West, North East, Centre, South and Islands); size of living centers (two classes: above and below 100,000 inhabitants); level of education (up to lower middle school, beyond lower middle school); and employment situation (employed, not employed). At the end of each survey’s wave, a weighting procedure has been applied to accurately restore the proportionality of the total sample examined with the reference population, according to the most recent data of the Italian Statistics Institute (ISTAT, 12/31/2019). In particular, data have been weighted for the main socio-demographic and geographic variables (e.g., sex by age by geographical area, occupation, educational qualification, geographical area by size of living centers). The sample size made it possible to maintain a sampling error of less than 2% (at the significance level of 95%) and to control the error of estimates within groups or subgroups of interest. The interviews were conducted by Doxa S.p.a. and carried out with the CAWI technique (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing) on an online panel and on the Confirmit software platform used by Doxa S.p.a. The average administration time was about 18-20 minutes. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the IRCCS San John of God Fatebenefratelli of Brescia (n° 72-2020), and all participants provided written informed consent.</p> <p>The primary objectives are to:</p> <p>● Monitor variables that are critical for population behaviour to control transmission of the novel coronavirus, including risk perceptions, knowledge, self-efficacy, confidence in institutions, behaviours, rumours, affect, worry, resilience, trust in/use of information sources and more.<br> ● Document changes over time in these factors to understand the effect of the pandemic process, new developments, events or measures taken.<br> ● Monitor possible issues, e.g. related to misinformation or distrust, as they emerge, to allow early response.<br> ● Identify relationships between variables to identify levers for effective and appropriate responses.<br> ● Explore the relationship of psychological variables (e.g. worry, resilience, trust, affect) with the epidemiological situation and the events and measures taken.<br> ● Identify gaps between perceived and actual knowledge.<br> ● Evaluate the effectiveness of pandemic response measures, and the acceptance and effectiveness of policies and restrictions implemented, including the easing of such restrictions.<br> The secondary objectives are to:<br> ● Contribute to post-outbreak evaluation, thereby contributing to the continued regional/global efforts to better understand mechanisms of crisis response.<br> ● If additional research capacity is available, the data can be triangulated with data on media reporting, COVID-19 cases and other.● If additional research capacity is available, the data can be triangulated with data on media reporting, imported or confirmed cases, etc.: The relationship between psychological variables and characteristics of the outbreak situation can be explored (i.e. how closely the perceived risk mirrors reported cases, relative import risk, media reports).<br> This approach allows a citizen-centred approach where insights into population perceptions and behaviours inform COVID-19 actions, alongside epidemiological data and considerations of economic, cultural, ethical, structural political nature and other.</p> <p>The WHO questionnaire includes 21 different thematic areas noteworthy for the investigation of COVID-19 experience. The questionnaire was translated into specific country language by each recruiting site, following the WHO’s guidelines for translations of tools into other languages. The process included the following steps: forward translation, panel experts, back-translation, pre-test and cognitive interviews and, finally, development of the final version. Variables being surveyed include the following:<br> • Socio-demography;<br> • COVID-19 personal experience;<br> • Health literacy;<br> • COVID-19 risk perception;<br> • Probability and Severity;<br> • Preparedness and Perceived self-efficacy;<br> • Prevention – own behaviours;<br> • Affect;<br> • Trust in sources of information;<br> • Use of sources of information;<br> • Frequency of Information;<br> • Trust in institutions (perceptions);<br> • Policies, interventions (perceptions);<br> • Conspiracies (perceptions);<br> • Resilience (perceptions);<br> • Testing and tracing;<br> • Fairness (perceptions);<br> • Lifting restrictions (pandemic transition phase);<br> • Unwanted behaviour;<br> • Wellbeing;<br> • COVID-19 vaccine.</p> <p> </p>
