title: Data for: Eco-evolutionary experience and behavioural innovation

description: This dataset contains documented cases of behavioural change of native
 species in response to non-native species. We provide information on the
 source publication, the extend of the behavioural change of the native
 species (rate change, object change, technical change) and the population
 trend after the onset of the interaction. Furthermore, we estimated the
 eco-evolutionary experience the native species has with the non-native
 species by assessing if it is from a new ecological guild or shows traits
 unknown to the native species.
description: The non-native species were classified by the eco-evolutionary
 experience the native species has with it before the onset of the
 interaction. This was done by classifying the non-native species as coming
 from a new guild, showing a new (functional) trait or not. A functional
 trait is a trait that comes into play in the native- non-native species
 interaction. Every change in behaviour was classified as a rate change,
 object- or technical innovation. Classifications were performed by two
 authors of the corresponding manuscript separately (AAM and MSN) and the
 consensus values are given.

"-1" denotes a decline, "0" a stable population and "1" a growing population. The information came from the paper, secondary sources (like IUCN redlist) or direct contact with the authors of the study. Where data was unavailable, the entry is "NA". newGuild until newFunctionalTraitAAM – The classification of two authors (AAM and MSN) individually as well as the respective consensus on the questions "Does the non-native species come from a guild unknown to the native species?", "Does the non-native species show a new trait?" and "Is this new trait functional in the interaction with the native species?" typeOfInteraction – What ecological role does the non-native species have for the native species? ends – What ends does the behavioural change serve for the native species? endsGroup – ends pooled in three groups: "defense", "feeding" and "other" means – What are the means by which those ends are met? behaviourMeasured_data – What are the actual units the data were gathered in? rateChange until techniqueChangeAAM – The classification of two authors (AAM and MSN) individually as well as the respective consensus on the questions "Is a known behaviour performed at a different rate?", "Did the object a behaviour is performed on change?", "Is this object the non-native species?" and "Is a new technique observed in the behavioural pattern of the native species?" quoteBehaviour – The exact wording in the source publication that lead to the assessment.
