Inputs (.csv spreadsheets) for 'Conservation implications of a mismatch between data availability and demographic impact'

This dataset contains estimates of the following vital rates (as required to parameterise matrix population models), for the common eider (<em>Somateria mollissima</em>): 1st year survival (measured either from hatching, or from fledging, to 1 year old); 2nd year survival; adult annual survival; first breeding (both age-specific recruitment probability, and breeding propensity across potential recruitment ages); breeding propensity of established female breeders; clutch size; hatching success; and fledging success. These estimates are drawn from 134 studies, across the scientific and grey literature – including three previously inaccessible datasets on clutch size that were contributed in response to a call for data through the IUCN Species Survival Commission’s Duck Specialist Group (IDs 127, A and B). This is a relational database, linking estimates and associated metadata to the relevant study (or unique unpublished combination thereof) by a unique ID number in the 'MASTER' sheet. The files in this dataset closely correspond to those in the Dryad datatset linked below, with minor edits to facilitate their use in meta-analysis (see details in the README here). For further information, refer to the Dryad database (linked below), the Ecological Solutions and Evidence publication associated with that database (https://doi.org/10.1002/2688-8319.12108), or the pre-print entitled 'Conservation implications of a mismatch between data availability and demographic impact' (DOI: 10.22541/au.165337565.54669681/v1), which uses these inputs. There is also a 'probability matrix' .csv file, used for the background of pre-print Figure 4 (to be read into the output code), and equivalent plots for pre-print Appendix D (to be read into the comparative code). <br> ** 2023/02/20 edits - to MASTER, hs, and README - reflect minor corrections to the underlying Dryad database **
