Migratory behaviour in birds

Description

Dataset on the timing of bird migrations

Usage

data(migbehav_birds)

Format

A data.frame with 10596 observations and 31 variables.

Details

The dataset focuses on seasonal migration, i.e. movements causing an individual adult bird to be found in different locations over the course of one year, excluding everyday routine movements (e.g. foraging movements) and one-way dispersal movements by juveniles (natal dispersal) or adults (Newton 2008). Types or categories of migratory behaviour and different subcategories were recorded and classified with the Handbook of the Birds of the World (del Hoyo 1992-2013 and updates on the Handbook of the Birds of the World Alive website www.hbw.com, accessed until September 2016).
