Bird_community_ assembly_in the_Hengduan_Mountains.rar

This dataset includes the raw data for the analysis of breeding bird community assembly in the Hengduan Mountains, as well as the analysis and visualization code. Specifically, the raw data comprises a occurrence matrix along elevational gradients and trait data of breeding birds in the Hengduan Mountains. We got occurrence matrix by establishing sampling sites every 100 m along elevational gradients. For trait data, it was from the dataset on the life-history and ecological traits of Chinese birds (http://doi.org/10.24899/do.202109003(opens in new window), AVONET dataset (https://figshare.com/s/b990722d72a26b5bfead(opens in new window), and IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (https://portals.iucn.org/library/node/10315/(opens in new window). The analysis include two methods: a framework to quantitatively infer Community Assembly Mechanisms by Phylogenetic-bin-based null model analysis (iCAMP) and the dispersal–niche continuum index (DNCI).The analysis and visualization are both conducted in R software.<br>
