A traits database of 454 bird species in Taiwan

簡介

Together with enthusiastic participation of citizen scientists, researchers in Taiwan have accumulated a substantial amount of foraging observations, eBird occurrence samplings, morphological measurements from banded birds and specimens. This extensive data collection has significantly contributed to enhancing our understanding of birds. Here, we compiled a trait dataset of Taiwan’s birds including 454 bird species in 73 families through accumulated data combined with literature. This trait database includes foraging, morphology, migratory status, territoriality, habitat and elevation distribution, breeding characteristics, and regulating functions of bird species in Taiwan's ecosystem. This resource will serve as important data for the analysis of evolution, functional diversity, and ecosystem services.
