Biologging data of captive red deer, Prague, Czechia, June-November 2023
[This dataset is embargoed until November 20, 2025]. This dataset contains biologging data of captive red deer Cervus elaphus, to study sleep behaviour. This includes acceleration (m/s2), magnetometer (gauss), and temperature (degrees Celsius) measurements, collected using collar-mounted accelerometer and magnetometer recorders at 20Hz. This data was collected from 18 adult individuals; 13 male, 5 female, in 2023 over three deployments. Deployment 1 (males) 13/06/23 – 1/8/23; deployment 2 (males) 04/09/23 – 08/11/23; deployment 3 (females) 13/11/23 – 21/11/23. Deer were housed at the VUZV facility, Uhrineves, Prague, Czech Republic. This dataset was funded by NERC, as part of project “NE/X010368/1: Sleep in the landscape of fear” and was measured to aid in the creation of a classification model to detect sleep in red deer from collar accelerometers, as well as to test arousal thresholds in sleeping deer.

- Statement
-
Biologgers were calibrated immediately prior to deployment. Deer were manipulated in a standard farm handling crush and were not immobilised for deployment. Biologgers were recovered in the same manner. Data was downloaded directly from the Daily Diary logger units and stored in raw format. Data has been transformed into .txt format for reusability across different software. No other processing has taken place, other than screening for device failures, which have been removed from the dataset.
