Time-Series Analyses of Beaver Body Temperatures

Penny S. Reynolds

The file ch11b.dat contains a body temperature time series for
a subadult female beaver (Castor
canadensis). Observations were made at Sandhill Wildlife Area,
Wisconsin, November 3-4, 1990 (before freeze-up). Temperature
observations follow a plateau pattern, typically observed during
the entire ice-free period (late spring to late autumn). Only the
first 100 observations are included in this data set.

Variable list:

Observation number
Julian day
Time
Body temperature (degrees C)
Activity (0 = animal inside retreat; 1 = animal outside retreat)
