ex1027: Factors Affecting Extinction
Description
Data are measurements on breeding pairs of land-bird species collected
from 16 islands around Britain over the course of several decades.
For each species, the data set contains an average time of extinction
on those islands where it appeared, the average number of nesting
pairs, the size of the species and the migratory status of the
species.source
