In DAISIE: Dynamical Assembly of Islands by Speciation, Immigration and Extinction

Colonization and branching times of New Zealand birds.

Description

A list containing the colonization and branching times of the birds of New Zealand. Main dataset used in Valente, Etienne, Garcia-R (2019) Current Biology. Island age 52 Myr and mainland pool size of 1000 species.
The first element of the list has two components:

$island_age - the island age
$not_present - the number of mainland lineages that are not present on the island

The following elements of the list each contain information on a single colonist lineage on the island and has 5 components:

$colonist_name - the name of the species or clade that colonized the island
$branching_times - island age followed by stem age of the population/species in the case of Non-endemic, Non-endemic_MaxAge species and Endemic species with no close relatives on the island. For endemic clades with more than one species on the island (cladogenetic clades/ radiations) these should be island age followed by the branching times of the island clade including the stem age of the clade.
$stac - the status of the colonist

* Non_endemic_MaxAge: 1
* Endemic: 2
* Endemic&Non_Endemic: 3
* Non_endemic: 4
* Endemic_MaxAge: 5 or 6

$missing_species - number of island species that were not sampled for particular clade (only applicable for endemic clades)
$type1or2 - whether the colonist belongs to type 1 or type 2. In this dataset all are equal to 1.

Format

A list with 40 elements, the first of which contains 2 elements and the following 39 containing 5 components.
