This is a brief explanation for the data used in the paper **“Socioecology of the Australian Tree Skink (*Egernia striolata*)”** that is currently published in *Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution* (doi: 10.3389/fevo.2021.722455).
We have uploaded a complete set of data to this repository, but if you would like access to the R code or any additional data for analyses performed outside of R (i.e., spatial autocorrelations conducted in GENALEX as reported in section 2.6) please simply contact **Dr. Julia Riley** via email at julia.riley87@gmail.com. Also, if you have any comments or questions, please email her with those too!
The data that is uploaded is as follows:
1. Dataset used to summarise the social organisation of Tree Skink
groups (as reported in Section 2.3.1) titled: *“full_albury_grouping
data.csv”*
2. Datasets used to assess the relationship between relatedness,
social associations, and spatial overlap of Tree Skinks (as reported
in Sections 2.3.2 to 2.5). The datasets involved in this analyses
are:
- Grouping data with the subset of individuals required for the SNA: *“sna_albury_grouping data.csv”*
- Matrix of relatedness between Tree Skinks: *“albury_relatedness_matrix.csv”*
- Lizard attribute data: *“albury_lizard attributes.csv”*
- Overall social network of our Albury Tree Skinks: *“overall_SNA.csv”*
- Preferred social network our Albury Tree Skinks: *“pref_SNA.csv”*
- Spatial overlap of home ranges: *“kud_95_overlap.csv”*
- Spatial overlap of core ranges: *“kud_50_overlap.csv”*

3. Summary of results from COLONY, CERVUS, and relatedness data
used to assess the mating system of Tree Skinks (as reported in
section 2.7) titled *“parentage analyses.xlxs”*
