Description

A data file with paired mortality estimates of humans and non-human predators on shared prey.

Usage

predPom

Format

A data frame with 99 rows and 22 variables:

CaseID

integer Indicates exploitation rates of a particular prey from the same study. Rows with the same CaseID represent exploitation rates by different predators from the same study.

Ecosystem

logical Indicates Marine or Terrestrial Ecosystem

SystemID

integer Indicates predator-prey interactions from the same ecosystem/location and the same study. In cases where studies provided data from more than one ecosystem, different system identifiers were provided.

Citation

character Publication from which exploitation rates were obtained

DataSource

character Page number and/or table from which exploitation rates were obtained within the original publication

StudyType

character The type of study (e.g., EwE ecosystem model, survivorship, etc)

PubYear

integer Year in which the study was published

Region

character Ocean for marine studies or continent for terrestrial studies

Lat

double Latitude of the study

NS

character North or South Hemisphere for Latitude

Long

double CLongitude of the study

EW

character East or West Hemisphere for longitude

SpeciesID

integer nique identifier for prey species (numeric)

Order

character Order of prey species

Family

character Family of prey species

Genus

character Genus of prey species

Species

character Prey species

Paired

character "P" indicates studies that have exploitation estimates for both humans and non-human predators, "U" indicates exploitation estimates that are unpaired (in this file all cases are paired, "P")

HumanPoM

double Proportion of mortality on a prey species attributed to humans

MaxPOM

double Maximum proportion of mortality; Proportion of mortality on a prey species attributed to the highest-exploiting non-human predator in a terrestrial system

CumPOM

double Cumulative proportion of mortality; Proportion of mortality on a prey species attributed to all non-human predators in a terrestrial system

NPredPOM

integer Number of non-human predators in the system
