Data and R script for "Zoo flagships: predictors of animal sponsorship to support zoo-based conservation activities"

Investigation of predictors of the number of sponsors a zoo animal receives, incorporating data from seven diverse zoos in the UK and phylogenetic information. The dataset includes information on the number of sponsors a species has at a given zoo, the position of the common name of the species in alphabetic order for a given zoo's sponsorship list, body mass (kg), conservation status (IUCN Red List category), diet (herbivory, carnivory, or omnivory), activity patterns (diurnal, crepuscular, nocturnal or cathemeral), phylogenetic distance from humans (in millions of years since a given species divergence from humans), and whether the species is typically housed in groups or singly in zoo settings. A phylogenetic tree containing the species from the dataset is also included here, as is an R script for conducted the analyses in the study.

本研究针对动物园动物所获赞助者数量的预测因子展开探究，纳入英国7家多元化动物园的相关数据与系统发育信息。本数据集涵盖以下内容：特定动物园内某一物种的赞助者数量、该物种通用名称在对应动物园赞助名单中的字母排序位次、体质量（单位：千克）、保护等级（国际自然保护联盟红色名录（IUCN Red List）类别）、食性（草食性、肉食性或杂食性）、活动模式（昼行性、晨昏活动型、夜行性或全昼夜活动型）、与人类的系统发育距离（以该物种与人类分化以来的百万年数计），以及该物种在动物园饲养环境中通常采取群居还是独居模式。本数据集同时附带包含研究涉及所有物种的系统发育树，以及用于开展本研究分析的R语言脚本。
