  1. Number of collars deployed with tri-axial accelerometers on badgers, number of badgers dosed with doubly-labelled water (DLW), and number of overlapping records for both methods in each season over two years. Successive columns show the initial sample size, the number of collars recovered or the number of badgers recaptured during valid DLW windows, and the number of retained data points after inspecting data quality. Total final seasonal sample sizes are bolded
