Title

Banded mongoose morphometrics, life history and weather data, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, 2017-2020

Abstract

The dataset includes life history, biometric and weather data collected for banded mongooses at Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, in the period 2017-2020. The data includes a list of experimental individuals, in addition to more general information collected in the field regarding the mongooses life history, body mass measured daily in the field, biometric data collected during trapping events and weather data.

Lineage

Eight groups are completely habituated to human observers and visited daily. Over 95% of the population is marked, and regularly captured for collection of biometric data and blood samples. Most individuals are trained to sit on a digital balance to record body mass.
