TanjaCaprano2011-02-25Distribution 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 types and show a high variation in size and location of distribution areas as well as in migratory behavior.distributiondistribution arealong-distance migrantsshort-distance migrantssylviaThe data is not allowed to be used without permission of Prof. Katrin Boehning-Gaese.

Methodology for generating geographic distribution areas of species in a GIS---------------Source of data:-----------------Except for one species :1.Book "Sylvia Warblers" by Hadoram Shirihai, Gabriel Gargallo & Andreas J. HelbigPublisher: Christopher Helm Ltd. (A & C Black Ltd.), London (2001)ISBN 0-7136-3984-9One species:2. Fry, C. H., S. Keith, and E. K. Urban (eds). 2000. The birds of Africa Vol. VI.Academic PressMethod of data aquisition:---------------------------The book "Sylvia Warblers" contains two map types:1. Unprojected maps (geographical coordinate system)2. Maps using Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area Projection, Central Meridian 90, Reference Latitude 50All distribution maps where scanned and then georeferenced using ArcView 3.2 with Image Analysis Extension V1.1 .Depending on map type, scanned images got edited using Corel Photopaint V10:Type 1:Distribution areas were colored uniformly, uncertain areas (shaped like question marks) were deleted.Type 2:The complex editing of type 2 maps is described in file 'Meth_geog_distribution_maps.doc'. In addition the document desribes (for both map types) how distribution areas can be extracted from images to shape files using Image Analysis Extensions 'Seed Tools' and ArcView 3.2 'Geoprocessing Wizard'.
The *.zip file contains:* Polygone shape files, produced with ArcView 3.2* Spatial reference: unprojected, geographic coordinate system GCS_WGS_1984* Sedentary birds: 'allover_range.shp'* Breeding and winter range of migratory birds are storedin seperate files: 'breeding_range.shp' & 'winter_range.shp'* For any species exists a file 'Info.txt', that contains the following information:- Name of species- Migration type (log, short, none)- Name(s) of shape file(s) containing distribution areas- RMS (Root Mean Square) error of georeferencing in pixel- Scale of map source (if detectable)- Special comments
