The `HimalayanBirds` dataset provides information on bird species in the Himalayas, including their species names, genera, families, phylogenetic relationships, and community composition across elevation bands. This dataset is used to explore elevational patterns of bird functional and phylogenetic diversity and the ecological processes that structure bird communities.
HimalayanBirdsA list with three components:
A data frame with 151 rows and 3 variables:
Scientific name of the bird species.
Genus of the bird species.
Family of the bird species.
A phylogenetic tree (object of class "phylo") representing the evolutionary relationships among the bird species. It contains edge, edge.length, Nnode, tip.label, and node.label.
A community matrix representing the presence (1) or absence (0) of each bird species across 12 elevation bands (ele1 to ele12). The rows represent the elevation bands, and the columns represent the bird species.
