Life histories of Lappet faced vultures from Namibia used for survival analyses (excel worksheet) and files for running E-SURGE analyses

This database contains the life-histories of 762 Lappet faced vultures (Torgos tracheliotos) ringed (leg metal ring) and wing tagged as nestlings by Vultures Namibia personnel from 2006 to 2017 within and around the Namib-Naukluft Park in SW Namibia. The data consist of the metal ring code of each bird, the date when recovered dead, if available, and the resighting/recovery history of each bird from 2006 to 2018. The data are organised so that each row represents an individual, and its history should be followed from left to right scrolling the columns of year. The life history of each bird starts with code 1. A legend for the code used for resighting and recovery of different methods is available as a separate sheet in the database file.The folder named "Data for LFvuture Survival ... " contains all files necessary to repeat the analyses in E-SURGE as detailed in the original paper published in 2020 in Biological Conservation journal.<br>More details on the recovery and resight methods, and on the analyses, are available in the associated published paper, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2020.108593<br><br><br>
