Baboon approach behaviour data - Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique and Gombe National Park, Tanzania

See README file for more complete information Overview: This dataset provides presence/absence data for each of 299 observations from Gorongosa National Park and 73 observations from Gombe National Park. Each observation is one "proximity event", where an adult/subadult baboon approached another adult/subadult baboon from outside 5 m to within 2 m. Data was first collected using BORIS (Friard and Gamba, 2016) following an ethogram (DOI:10.5281/zenodo.7314291), then cleaned using Python version 3.8.5 and R version 4.0.5 to format as a presence/absence matrix.  Study species: Papio ursinus griseipes (chacma baboon) and Papio anubis (olive baboon) where specified Dates of data collection: Videos in Gorongosa National Park were filmed 2018-10 to 2018-11 and 2019-07 to 2019-11. Videos in Gombe Stream national Park were recorded 2021-1 to 2021-5 and 2021-8 to 2021-9. Geographic location of data collection: Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique and Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania as specified by observation Video coding software: BORIS (Friard and Gamba, 2016) Recommended citation in BibTex form: @ELECTRONIC{Muschinski2022b,   author = {Muschinski, Jana and Carvalho, Susana},   year = {2023},   title = {Baboon approach behaviour data - {Gorongosa National Park}, {Mozambique} and {Gombe National Park}, {Tanzania}},   doi = {10.5281/zenodo.10339023},   owner = {Paleo-Primate Project, Gorongosa National Park},   organization = {Paleo-Primate Project, Gorongosa National Park} }
