Time-Series Analyses of Beaver Body Temperatures

Penny S. Reynolds

The file ch11a.dat contains a body temperature time series for an
adult female beaver (Castor canadensis) obtained December 12-13, 1990 
at Sandhill Wildlife Area, Wisconsin. Observations were made at 10
minute intervals. These observations follow a random pattern of
fluctuations, typically observed during freeze-up for all beaver in
this study. 

Variable List:

Observation No.
Julian day
Time
Body temperature (degrees C) 
Activity (0 = animal inside retreat; 1 = animal outside retreat)
