The Excel file provided here contains data used in a study of the repeatabilities and correlations among behavioural traits in western pygmy perch (Nannoperca vittata), a threatened freshwater fish species endemic to south-western Australia, and the guppy (Poecilia reticulata), a species frequently used in personality research.
Each fish (48 of each species) was measured four times for each of seven behavioural traits, which were presumed to reflect five underlying personality traits. Track length (TL) was used as a measure of activity; time spent in a risky zone (RZ) and time to emergence (ET) as measures of boldness; latency to approach to a novel object (LA) and time spent close to the object (TS) as measures of exploration; time spent close to a mirror (CV) as a measure of sociability; and number of attacks (AT) launched at the mirror as a measure of aggression.

The Excel file provided here contain data associated with the following paper: Lymbery, A.J. and Lymbery, S.J. (2024) Equal rights for parasites: are we there yet? International Journal for Parasitology - Parasites and Wildlife

The file consist of all the articles found in the last 10 years in the International Journal for Parasitology - Parasites and Wildlife that contain the term “conservation” in the title, keywords, or abstract; and all papers published in the last 10 years in Biological Conservation and Conservation Biology that contain the term “parasit*”. Articles were classified according to year published, conceptual focus (whether parasites were considered as conservation targets or as threats), article type (empirical or non-empirical), and parasite taxon (macroparasite or microparasite, where macroparasites included arthropods, helminths, annelids, molluscs and vertebrates, and microparasites included protozoans, fungi and bacteria).
