Raw bite-force, body size and head dimensions...
These are the raw data collected from the literature. Column headers are as follows.
General variables
- Citation. The names of the authors and the year it was published.
- Year. The year the paper was published.
- Journal. The journal the paper was published in.
- Family. The family the species belongs to.
- BinomialStudy The binomial name of the taxa/taxon included in the study.
- BinomialReptileDatabase The binomial name of the taxa/taxon as per the ReptileDatabase (most current and correct taxonomic name).
- Sex The sex of the taxon. NA = no sex information provided.
- Age All entries are adult unless otherwise specified as juveniles or subadults in the study.
- SC (substrate classification) The substrate used to cover the bite plates . NA = not specified in the paper.
- Notes Additional information that may be useful or worth remembering regarding the paper.
- Data Quality Whether data can be used for this study (not data quality of the paper per se). (1) Yes1 = no issues to consider (2) Yes2 = some minor issues with the data, e.g. differing sample sizes etc (3) Maybe = e.g. no standard deviations or standard errors associated with means, low sample sizes (n = 1), maximum bite-force was not explicitly stated etc. (4) Remove = data cannot be used for analysis usually due to bite-force and morphological data being from different samples. See notes for more explanation.
Body size, head dimensions and bite-force data
For each morphological variable and bite-force there are columns for mean, standard deviation (SD), standard error (SE), minimum, and maximum value (MAX), and data on the sample sizes for each as follows.
- SSM (sample size morphometric) The sample size provided for the morphometric data.
- SSBF ( sample size bite force) The sample size for the bite-force data.
- SD (standard deviation) For a given morphological measurement, where averages are provided, the standard deviation associated with that average measurement.
- SE (standard error) For a given morphological measurement, where averages are provided, the standard error associated with that average measurement.
- MIN (minimum) For a given morphological measurement, the minimum value obtained within that range.
- MAX (maximum) For a given morphological measurement, the maximum value obtained within that range.
Body size, head dimensions and bite-force data variable names are as follows:
- BM (body mass) Body mass of the individual in grams
- SVL (snout-vent length) snout-vent length measured in mm
- HL (head length) head length measured in mm
- HW (head width) head width measured in mm
- HH (head height) head height measured in mm
- BF (bite force) bite force value measured in Newtons
- LJL (lower jaw length) Length of the lower jaw in mm
