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... -
Climate change and ectotherms - How rising temperatures might elevate rates o...
This data set includes R scripts & additional tables created by Lennart Gries for a master's thesis conducted at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main and... -
Paleogene Central Asian Mammal Occurrence and Body Size Data
Occurrence dataset: A relatively large (~1500) dataset of fossil mammal occurrence data for the Paleocene, Eocene and Oligocene (66 Ma - 23 Ma) of Mongolia and Northern China... -
Quaternary European Mammal Occurrence and Trait Data
Occurrence dataset: A large dataset of fossil mammal occurrence data for the Quaternary (Pleistocene and Holocene) of Europe. Occurrence data comprises species or genus name,...
