New datasets for strategies of Apis mellifera during visual search for vertical targets
Dataset 1: The dataset contains the decisions of each bee at a distance of 5 cm to the search screen (correct: number of correct decisions; false: number of false decisions) during pre-training phase. Data are divided in treatment groups (dorsal, ventral, mixed) and learning blocks of five foraging bouts (B1: bout number 1 to5; B2: bout number 6 to 10, etc.). The total number of decisions is given (_all) as well as the separation into bouts with the target placed in the top row (_T_dorsal) and in the bottom row (_T_ventral).
Dataset 2: The dataset contains the decision time (seconds) and error rate (correct: number of correct decisions; false: number of false decisions) of each bee during the training phase. Data are divided in treatment groups (dorsal, ventral, mixed) and learning blocks of six foraging bouts (B1: bout number 1 to 6; B2: bout number 7 to 12, etc.). For both error rate at 5 cm distance to the search screen and decision time the total values are given (_all_5) as well as the separation into trials with the target placed in the top row (_T_dorsal_5) and in the bottom row (_T_dorsal_5). Additionally, the error rate of the first and last learning block is given for distances of 10 cm (_10), 7.5cm (_7.5) and 0 cm (_0) to the search screen. NA = missing value.
Dataset 3: The dataset contains the decision time (seconds) and error rate at 5 cm distance to the search screen (correct: number of correct decisions; false: number of false decisions) of each bee during the training phase. Data are divided in treatment groups (dorsal, ventral, mixed) and learning blocks of three foraging bouts (B1: bout number 1 to 3; B2: bout number 4 to 6, etc.). For both error rate and decision time only the total values are given (_all).
Dataset 4: The dataset contains the flight angles of the first (F1), third (F3) and fifth (F5) foraging bout of all filmed bees (N=7 per treatment group). For the mixed group these bouts are presented for both possible target positions (dorsal, ventral) – therefore in this group 10 bouts per bee are shown. The distance between entrance hole and decision line (25cm) was divided into 5 segments of 5 cm length (_5: 0 to 5 cm distance from the entrance, _10: from 5 to 10 cm distance, etc. ). NA = missing value).
Dataset 5: The dataset contains the percentage of erroneous decisions for each bee and each position of the search screen (three rows by three columns). The particular position is described by the row (topR, middleR, bottomR) and the arrangement in the particular row (left, middle, right). For example, the topmost left position is named 'topR_left' and the middle position in the middle row is named 'middleR_middle'.
