The effects of intergroup conflict on social networks in banded mongooses in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda, 2016-2017
This dataset comprises measurements of grooming and aggressive interactions in banded mongooses in response to simulated intergroup conflict, collected from a wild population of banded mongooses on the Mweya Peninsula, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda between 2016-2017. We experimentally simulated conflict between rival social groups of banded mongooses and recorded observations of grooming and aggression between individuals in the focal group. These data were collected to examine changes in social networks in the face of intergroup conflict.

Intergroup threat was experimentally simulated by presenting a series of stimuli from a rival group to a focal group during field experiments conducted between March 2016 and May 2017. The stimuli included a presentation of rival group faeces, a playback of rival group ‘war cries’, and a presentation of rival males in traps. In addition, presentations of own group stimuli were performed as control trials. In total we performed 22 simulated intrusion trials and 22 control trials in 5 social groups. For each simulated intrusion and control trial, we collected observations of social interactions in the focal group over a 5-day period: 2 days before the presentation of stimuli, on the day of the presentation of stimuli, and 2 days after the presentation of stimuli. On each day we observed the focal group for 1 hour in the morning and for 1 hour in the afternoon. We recorded every grooming and aggressive interaction between individuals, noting the identity of the individuals involved and the direction of the interaction. We also recorded the sex and age of the individuals.
