Distribution Areas of Sylvia Warblers
Distribution areas of genus Sylvia (22 species). The genus Sylvia is a suitable model organism for ecological research. Sylvia species occupy a broad range of different niche... -
Evidence for distinct evolutionary optima in the morphology of migratory and ...
Seasonal migration is prevalent in approximately one fifth of all bird species. Due to the high energetic costs of migration, consistent morphological patterns can be observed... -
Rates of ecomorphological trait evolution in passerine birds are independent ...
While the links between species richness and diversification rates with clade age have been studied extensively, very few studies have investigated the relationship between the... -
Body size data for Neogene mammals in North America and Europe
The dataset contains species body mass (g) for Neogene large mammals, in the orders Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla. The body mass data were compiled from literature as well as... -
Mammalian fossil occurrence and paleobotanical climate data for the Neogene i...
The uploaded files cover two datasets. The first dataset provides Northern-hemisphere mammalian fossil data for the Miocene and Pliocene epochs (23-1.8 million years ago), for... -
Effects of phylogeny and geography on ecomorphological traits in passerine bi...
Aim: Closely related species are often morphologically similar due to their shared evolutionary history. This similarity can restrict their geographic distribution, as processes... -
Threatened species prevalence on Islands
The data comprehends the list of bird species that occur on 3,713 across the globe. The data was compiled from two data sources: 1) BirdLife International and HBW (2018)... -
Migratory behaviour in birds: A classification across all living species
The uploaded dataset contains a classification of migratory behaviour for all 10596 extant species of birds (Aves). The dataset focuses on seasonal migration, i.e. movements... -
Deforested habitats lack of seed dispersal; 2010-2012;Bolivia
The study was conducted in a tropical montane forest in the Bolivian Andes near the town of Chulumani during two years from 2010-2012. We selected eight study sites. At each... -
Seed shadow and recruitment patterns of Clusia species;2010-2012; Bolivia
The field work was carried out in a tropical montane forest in the Bolivian Andes, near the town of Chulumani. We recorded the seed-deposition and recruitment pattern of Clusia... -
Seed dispersal networks and functional diversity; 2010-2011; Bolivia
We carried out this study in a tropical mountain forest in the Bolivian Andes nearby the town of Chulumani from June 2010 to February 2012. We recorded plant-frugivore... -
Preference and Constancy in foraging behavour of Cape sugarbirds
These data compile three datasets: i) foraging interaction of cape sugarbirds with 10 Protea species ii) spatially explicit maps of plant transitions iii) maps of random sampled... -
Pollination experiments on Protea species, Western Cape, South Africa
We conducted pollination experiments on 7 Protea species (Protea compacta, P. eximia, P. laurifolia, P. longifolia, P. magnifica, P. punctata, P. repens) in the Cape Fynbos,... -
Cape sugarbird & orange-breasted sunbird population and visitation on Protea ...
We estimated the population size of Cape sugarbirds and orange-breasted sunbirds in 26 study plots (200x200m, 110x110m core zone) and visitation rates of birds of the two... -
Effect of bracken vegetation and litter on seedling recruitment of Clusia spe...
We studied the effect of vegetation and litter removal of bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum) on seedling recruitment, survival and growth of three shade-tolerant Clusia species.... -
Seed-dispersal networks respond differently to resource effects in open and f...
While patterns in species diversity have been well studied across largescale environmental gradients, little is known about how species' interaction networks change in response... -
Direct and indirect effects of climate, human disturbance and plant traits on...
Aim: Climate change and an increase in human disturbance are major drivers of global biodiversity loss. Yet it is not clear to what extent their effects on animal communities... -
Colombian network and morphological traits of frugivores and plants
Colombian network and morphological traits of frugivores and plants This dataset was collected in the frame of the doctoral thesis of Marcia Carolina Munoz Neyra, in Colombia... -
Functional plant traits and demographic rates of Protea species in the Fynbos...
We set up 27 study plots of 120x120m with a 40m buffer zone in the Fynbos, Western Cape and mapped all Protea shrubs taller than 30cm with a highly precise dGPS; in total... -
Neighbourhood effects and demographic rates of Protea species, Fynbos, Cape F...
We set up 27 study plots (120x120m) in the Fynbos, Western Cape and mapped all Protea shrubs taller than 30cm. On 2157 focal plants of 22 Protea species on all sites (Protea...
