Abstract

The datasets provided here form the analysis of the paper by Mckendrick et al., in the Journal of Animal Ecology titled: Environmentally induced stress affects fitness of bold and shy alike: a long-term study of personality and feather corticosterone in Arctic-breeding kittiwakes. This work investigates the relationships between personality, assayed by boldness, and levels of feather corticosterone, here used as an indicator of nutritional stress. The work investigates how these relationships vary across environmental proxies of resource availability and across different points within the annual cycle.
