NERC EDS Environmental Information Data Centre 10.5285/45391184-603e-4284-bb3c-9c8c6bf856ab These data describe individual behaviour during an experiment investigating chick responses to different trait combinations in 3D-printed insect replicas. Replicas were based on various combinations of shape, pattern, colour and size traits taken from either non-mimetic flies (Tachina fera) or wasps (Vespula vulgaris). Data describe chick progress through several phases: - A grouped phase where chicks became familiar with foraging within the experimental arena - A training phase, during which they open lids of small dishes and consume mealworms, - A learning phase, where the chicks learned to associate fly stimuli with a reward and wasp stimuli with no reward - A testing phase, in which they were presented with single stimuli at a time and we recorded the time taken to approach and attack the stimulus. Also included are chick growth curves (daily weights in g) for the period of the experiment.
