Data and code for Liang et al. Assessing the illegal hunting of native wildlife within China

This repository contains codes and data for Liang et al. Assessing the illegal hunting of native wildlife within China. This includes two analyses. First, the prefecture-level analysis for assessing the relationships between the ecological and socio-economic variables and the illegal hunting convictions (all verdicts, type 1 verdicts, type 2 verdicts, and total number of individual animals taken) of four vertebrate groups (amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals) in China. Second, the trait-based analyses (with phylogenetic logistic regression models) for predicting the probability that a species is known to be illegally hunted using the species' traits for the four vertebrate groups.
