Trait table 'Functional and phylogenetic diversity of bird assemblages are filtered by different biotic factors on tropical mountains' - Hanz et al. 2018

- Species = Species taxonomy was determined after Avibase taxonomic concepts(2018; https://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/).
- Wing length = Wing length was measured as the distance from the carpal joint to the longest primary after the “maximum chord” method (Eck et al., 2011).
- Kipp's distance = Kipp’s distance was measured as the distance from the tip of the first secondary to the tip of the longest primary in the naturally folded wing and tail length was measured from the two innermost rectrices to the tip of the longest tail feather in the naturally folded tail (Eck et al., 2011).
- Bill length = Bill length was defined as the distance from the commissural point of the upper and lower bill to the tip of the closed bill (Dehling, Töpfer, et al. 2014).
- Bill width = Bill width was defined as the external distance between the two commissural points (Dehling, Töpfer, et al. 2014).
- Bill height = Bill height was measured at the transition to the skull.
- Tail length = Tail length was measured from the two innermost rectrices to the tip of the longest tail feather in the naturally folded tail (Eck et al., 2011).
- Tarsus length = Tarsus length was taken from the joint between tarsus and toes to the intertarsal joint (Eck et al., 2011).
- Tarsus saggital diameter = Tarsus sagittal diameter was measured at the middle of the tarsus (Eck et al., 2011).
- Tarsus lateral diameter = Tarsus lateral diameter was measured at the middle of the tarsus (Eck et al., 2011).
- Body mass = body mass was compiled from Dunning (2007; for 312 species) and if not available from Wilman et al. (2014; for two species) or from the specimen label (for one species). 
- Location = Occurence of the bird in the Ecuadorian Andes (Andes) or on Mount Kilimanjaro (Kili).
- Sample size (m,f/na) = Number of individuals that were measured per species. It is stated whether these individuals were female, male or unknown as indicated by the museum tag label.
