| Summary: | Data used in the manuscript "Climate-related range shifts in Arctic-breeding shorebirds", submitted to Diversity and Distributions, June 2022. Data was funded and collected by Environment and Climate Change Canada Metadata: species - 4 letter codes denoting the observed shorebird species. See https://www.birdpop.org/docs/misc/Alpha_codes_eng.pdf binomial - Binomial nomenclature identifying the genus and species of the observed shorebird sti - Species Temperature Index. Calculated as the mean temperature with in the species breeding range. Temperature data came from the WorldClim 2.1 data set (Fick, S.E. and R.J. Hijmans, 2017. WorldClim 2: new 1km spatial resolution climate surfaces for global land areas. International Journal of Climatology 37 (12): 4302-4315). Shorebird breeding range data came from BirdLife International (BirdLife International and Handbook of the Birds of the World. 2020. “Bird Species Distribution Maps of the World. Version 2020.1.” http://datazone.birdlife.org/species/requestdis.) plot - Plot identification number, as part of Environment and Climate Change Canada's Program for Regional and International Shorebird Monitoring program (PRISM). time_period - Denotes which time period the surveys took place in region - Denotes which region the surveys took place in plot_area_km2 - Area of the surveyed plot in km2 plot_habitat - Surveyors estimated the proportion of each plot covered by upland and lowland habitat. Plots were the categorized as upland or lowland depending on which habitat type was predominant n_birds - The number of breeding birds of this species that were observed on plot during the survey. presence - A species was identified as present if one or more individuals of that species were present during the survey. |
