Handbook of the birds of the world del hoyo series#
This is the first series ever to illustrate all the species of birds in the world, in addition to providing access to all the essential information about each one of them. Lavishly illustrated with 50 color plates, 382 color photographs, and distribution maps. This volume offers comprehensive coverage of: Ostrich, Rheas, Cassowaries, Emu, Kiwis, Tinamous, Penguins, Divers, Grebes, Albatrosses, Petrels And Shearwaters, Storm-Petrels, Diving-Petrels, Tropicbirds, Pelicans, Gannets And Boobies, Cormorants, Darters, Frigatebirds, Herons, Hamerkop, Storks, Shoebill, Ibises And Spoonbills, Flamingos, Screamers, Ducks, Geese And Swans. Among others, it might be useful for comprehensive analyses and comparisons over taxa, analyses regarding dependencies of results from methodological details or as an easily accessible source if you need detailed information about dispersal related parameters as input for further analyses in the field of landscape ecology or spatial explicit modelling.Hardcover. The database is easily extendable not only in terms of data from additional species/studies but also in terms of additional parameters not considered until now.

In several tables connected either in 1:1, 1:n or m:n relations the authors compiled raw data, descriptive statistical parameters of dispersal kernels, fitting mathematical functions including their parameters to describe the shape of the kernels, methodological details, basic information about the study site landscape as well as metadata allowing categorization and full backtracking of all important information from authorized references in published literature, technical reports or theses. The dispersal database is a relational database containing information about dispersal of animals from different taxa. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.367.6185 Resource ID: GBIF key: Dispersal database Schweiger O, Harpke A, Wiemers M, Settele J (2014) CLIMBER: Climatic niche characteristics of the butterflies in Europe. The application potential of this database ranges from theoretical aspects such as assessments of past niche evolution or analyses of trait interdependencies to the very applied aspects of measuring, monitoring and projecting historical, ongoing and potential future responses to climate change using butterflies as an indicator. CLIMBER comprises information for the position and breadth of the following climatic niche characteristics: mean annual temperature, range in annual temperature, growing degree days, annual precipitation sum, range in annual precipitation and soil water content. These characteristics were obtained by combining detailed information on butterfly distributions in Europe and the corresponding climatic conditions. Databases for plants, insects, reptiles, and birds across Europe are either available online or upon author request.Ĭlimatic niche characteristics of the butterflies in Europe) is a unique dataset on the climatic niche characteristics of 397 European butterflies representing 91% of the European species. These data provide an excellent overview on species traits, which can be used for parameterizing model inputs, and will help to assess and visualize scaling effects across taxa and spatial scales. This compilation also includes derived traits like functional traits, area requirements, and habitat selectivity to dispersal and functional connectivity. Since species traits seem to play one of the most important roles in ecosystem processes and are thus highly relevant for conservation planning, it is inevitable to have overviews and compilations for different species available.įor that purpose, existing databases and review literature on species traits and, in the following, dispersal related traits, were compiled. On the other hand, they are also affected by other species traits and environmental conditions which are highly sensitive to global change pressures, such as land use changes and climate change. They affect ecosystem processes indirectly through abiotic control and directly through changes in biotic control (e.g. Home Species traits databases Species traits databasesSpecies traits describe characteristics of species and are relevant to population dynamics across space and time.
