Bird.ecol.distances: Functional pairwise distance matrix for all avian species...

Description Usage Format

Description

A pairwise functional distance matrices was created using functions in the ade4 package. Species proportional use of seven different foraging habitat categories and proportional use of ten diet categories were accessed from the Eltontraits database and used to calculate a mixed variable coefficient of distance using a generalised Gower's distance. The pairwise distances were then scaled to range [0, 1]. The entire workflow is shown in the Appendix S4 script.

Usage

1
data("Bird.ecol.distances")

Format

A matrix object with 303 rows and 303 columns, where each cell lists the scaled pairwise functional distance between species in the corresponding row and column. Row and column orders match the column orders in the BBS.abundances and BBS.occurrences datafiles
