Life-history of European birds
Description
Life-history of European birds
Usage
data(eubirds)
Format
A data.frame with 499 observations and 85 variables.
Details
A dataset for 499 bird species breeding in Europe and 34 key life-history traits
represented in 85 variables. As a primary source of information we used the comprehensive
handbook The birds of the Western Palearctic. The traits provide information about
species-specific mean values. We did not record values for different geographical subspecies.
We chose several types of avian traits, such as morphological, reproductive
and behavioural traits, dietary and habitat preferences.
