Brain mass, body mass and population density in mammals

Datasets and R scripts from González-Suárez, M; Gonzalez-Voyer, A; von Hardenberg, A; Santini, L (2021) The role of brain size on mammalian population densities Journal of Animal Ecology, 90: 653– 661. DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.13397Additional details in the README.pdf file SUMMARY OF FILES INCLUDED - CSV datasets: total 21 files representing · 12 csv datasets from other sources (described below) with brain and body mass data in the zip file Brain and Mass data. · Six csv datasets from other sources and compilations (described below) with population density and diet information · Two csv files (Complete_dataset_published.csv, Brain_data_compilation_published.csv) produced during this study. Details of the files and the compilation protocol are provided in the README file. - R scripts: three scripts that describe the protocols to: combine brain and body mass data (brain_data_compilation_published.Rmd), combine all sources (Joining_all_data_published.Rmd), and analyse and produce tables and figures presented in the manuscript (Data_analysesPPA_published.Rmd).
