#' Information on avian species' migratory status (extracted from BirdLife International),
#' habitat and diet diversity (extracted from EltonTraits), clutch size and rarity
#'
#'
#' A \code{dataframe} containing variables describing the broad migratory status of each species in
#' \code{BBS.occurrences} (extracted from BirdLife International using web scraping) as well as
#' derived indices of species' habitat use and nesting behaviour (extracted from the
#' Land Condition Trend Analysis Avian Database), diet and habitat diversities
#' (calculated as a Shannon index using data in the EltonTraits database),
#' clutch size (extracted from the global avian life
#' history traits dataset) and species rarity (scaled variable representing
#' the proportional number of observations in \code{BBS.occurrences} in which a species
#' was observed). The
#' entire workflow is shown in the \code{Appendix S7} script.
