Accompanying datasets and code to the dissertation of Stefan Mucha: "Behavioral Activity and Hypoxia Tolerance of African Weakly Electric Fish" By Stefan Mucha, Supervised by Rüdiger Krahe https://doi.org/10.18452/25018 Data collection period: Primary data 07/2018 - 01/2021 Scripts and results of analysis until 07/2022 Content explanation: Data and methods are split by topic (Hypoxia tolerance and activity patterns). Folder structure is organized as follows: Primary Data: This folder contains the primary layer of data analysis: fish positions that were tracked in videos, EODs that were extracted from electrical recordings, respirometry logfiles, etc. The raw data (video files, electric recordings, ...) amounts to > 20 TB and will be made available upon request. Python Scripts (only Mormyrid Activity Patterns): Scripts that were written to extract EODs from recordings, and determine the fish number in recordings. The script "EOD_analysis_functions.py" contains the functions that are used in the other scripts to extract EODs and must be loaded first. I used Spyder 4.2.5 to write scripts and Python v. 3.8 R Scripts: Scripts that were written to process large datasets, estimate fish species from EOD characteristics, and create the plots and statistical analyses. I used RStudio v. 1.4.1717 and R v. 4.1.0 Analysis Output: This folder contains the results of data processing and the plots that were created for the dissertation. These data are likely most relevant to you as they contain the information of the primary data in processed and summarized form. How to use: If you want to reproduce the results/figures of the Mormyrid Activity Patterns part, simply run the R script "5. Statistical Analysis and Plots.R". If you want to reproduce the results/figures of the Mormyrid Activity Patterns part, simply run the R script "8. Data Analysis and Plots.R". Adjust the paths to the analysis output folders according to your file structure and run it. Due to the folder structure, file paths can be very long, and this has led to error when trying to open files (especially from the 01 Primary Data subfolders). If such an error occurrs (i.e. R or Excel won't open a .csv file), try to move the parent folder to a directory with a short filepath (e.g., C:/). July 2022, Stefan Mucha
