Colonization and branching times of New Zealand birds.
Source:R/DAISIE_data.R
NewZealand_birds_datalist.RdA list containing the colonization and branching times of the birds of
New Zealand. Main dataset used in
Valente, Etienne, Garcia-R (2019) Current Biology. Island age 52 Myr and mainland
pool size of 1000 species.
The first element of the list has two
components: $island_age - the island age $not_present - the number of mainland lineages that are not present
on the island
The following elements of the list each contain
information on a single colonist lineage on the island and has 5
components:$colonist_name - the name of the species or clade
that colonized the island $branching_times - island age followed by stem age of the population/species
in the case of Non-endemic, Non-endemic_MaxAge species and Endemic species with no close
relatives on the island. For endemic clades with more than one species on the island
(cladogenetic clades/ radiations) these should be island age followed by the
branching times of the island clade including the stem age of the clade.$stac - the status of the colonist
* Non_endemic_MaxAge: 1
* Endemic: 2
* Endemic&Non_Endemic: 3
* Non_endemic: 4
* Endemic_MaxAge: 5 or 6 $missing_species - number of island species
that were not sampled for particular clade (only applicable for endemic
clades) $type1or2 - whether the colonist belongs to type 1 or
type 2. In this dataset all are equal to 1.
Format
A list with 40 elements, the first of which contains 2 elements and the following 39 containing 5 components.
