This dataset compiles brain and body weight, life span, gestation time, time sleeping, and predation and danger indices for 62 mammals. Dataset Location: http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/datasets/sleep Comments: Overall time spent sleeping is broken down into slow-wave and paradoxical sleep. Citation: Allison, Truett and Cicchetti, Domenic V. (1976), "Sleep in Mammals: Ecological and...MORE
Spot-mapping data for birds combined with information on the local vegetation. This includes information on the number and position of singing males and breeding pairs, as well as information on the number of nests and fledglings. Plots vary in scale from 10 hectares (in closed habitats) to 40 hectares (in...MORE

A large compilation of empirical data on how traits respond to environmental drivers. Dataset Location: The dataset is available both online where selected data for individual populations can be downloaded one at a time and as a Data Paper in Ecological Archives providing access to the entire dataset in one...MORE
Via NEON's overview page: Data will be collected from 106 sites (60 terrestrial, 36 aquatic and 10 aquatic experimental) across the U.S. (including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico) using instrument measurements and field sampling. NEON will combine site-based data with remotely sensed data and existing continental-scale data sets (e.g. satellite...MORE
This website and database hosts records of fossil pollen, charcoal, and mammal assemblages, as well as plant macrofossils, largely from North America, but also globally, throughout the Pleiocene-Quaternary (and Anthropocene). Also included are chronological controls that allow the use of the records through time from the last 5 million years...MORE
Database including information on distribution, taxonomy, and synonyms for birds. Data location: http://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/ Uses: Of particular interest is the tool for comparing two differt checklists. This provides information to help combine datasets that are based on different taxonomies, and the determine what has changed from one version of the taxonomy...MORE
This report documents an... "LCTA database update that provides selected ecological attributes (particularly for the nesting season) for 676 bird species occurring within the continental United States. This database upgrade provides land managers the capability to: (1) generate ecological guild-based summaries with no additional fieldwork, (2) identify specific groups of...MORE
