doi:10.1038/s41598-017-17553-1: Coordinate data from each track

201 x Excel file (.xls)

1 x Word file (.docx)

These files contain the radar track data on bee flights that underpin the publication:

Woodgate JL, Makinson JC, Lim KS, Reynolds AM, Chittka L. Continuous Radar Tracking Illustrates the Development of Multi-destination Routes of Bumblebees. Scientific reports. 2017 Dec 11;7(1):17323. doi:10.1038/s41598-017-17553-1

Each file contains the tracking data for one flight by one bee. Flights were defined as the movements undertaken by a bee between leaving the nest and subsequently returning again. The radar revolves once every 3s and records a positional fix if a signal from a transponder is detected during each rotation. Each row of each file describes a single positional fix.

Full descriptions of each variable can be found in the enclosed file 'Explanatory note on variable names Coordinate data.docx'.

Each file contains: Bee ID; date and timestamps; coordinates of bee position in polar coordinates centred on the radar, cartesian coordinates centred on the nest position, and GPS coordinates (estimated from the radar data); distance traveled; ground speed.
