The beav1 data frame has 114 rows and 4 columns on body
temperature measurements at 10 minute intervals.
day |
Day of observation (in days since the beginning of 1990), December 12-13. |
time |
Time of observation, in the form 0330 for 3.30am
|
temp |
Measured body temperature in degrees Celcius |
activ |
Indicator of activity outside the retreat |
Reynolds (1994) describes a small part of a study of the long-term temperature dynamics of beaver Castor canadensis in north-central Wisconsin. Body temperature was measured by telemetry every 10 minutes for four females, but data from a one period of less than a day for each of two animals is used there.
This data frame contains the following columns:
The observation at 22:20 is missing.
