KBN01 Konza bird nests

This data set is a compilation of data collected by multiple researchers describing nests of 48 bird species from across Konza Prairie. Compiled and edited into consistent format by Emma B. Smith, and included in her Master’s thesis. The goal of this dataset is to compile as much data on bird nests at Konza as possible. This data set includes data from other KNZ datasets CBN01 and PBG05, as well as data contributed by Page Klug, Jim Rivers, John Zimmerman, Bill Jensen, Brett Sandercock, Alice Boyle, Bram Verheijen, Bridget Sousa, Aaron Pearse, Karl Kosciuch, and Scott Hatch. These nests were found by rope dragging, opportunistically during other activities, within nest boxes, and/or via behavioral observations. We described nest contents, and some were monitored via repeated visits. Some data are freely available, and other data are restricted access, at the discretion of each individual contributor.Methods: These nests were found by rope dragging, opportunistically during other activities, within nest boxes, and/or via behavioral observations. We described nest contents, and some were monitored via repeated visits. This dataset contains data collected by numerous researchers throughout the history of the site, so the individual methods vary. Some data are freely available, and other data are restricted access, at the discretion of each individual contributor.本数据集为多位研究者收集的数据汇编，涵盖康扎草原（Konza Prairie）全域48种鸟类的巢穴相关信息。该数据集由Emma B. Smith统一整理并编辑为标准化格式，收录于其硕士学位论文中，其构建目标为尽可能全面地汇编康扎草原地区鸟类巢穴的相关研究数据。本数据集包含KNZ数据集CBN01与PBG05中的既有数据，同时收录了Page Klug、Jim Rivers、John Zimmerman、Bill Jensen、Brett Sandercock、Alice Boyle、Bram Verheijen、Bridget Sousa、Aaron Pearse、Karl Kosciuch及Scott Hatch等研究者贡献的原始数据。上述鸟类巢穴的发现途径包括绳索拖拽法、其他科研活动中的偶遇发现、巢箱监测以及行为观察法，研究人员对巢穴内容物进行了详细记录，并通过多次回访对部分巢穴开展持续监测。部分数据可免费公开获取，其余数据则需经各数据贡献者自行裁量决定是否开放访问权限。方法说明：上述鸟类巢穴的发现途径包括绳索拖拽法、其他科研活动中的偶遇发现、巢箱监测以及行为观察法，研究人员对巢穴内容物进行了详细记录，并通过多次回访对部分巢穴开展持续监测。本数据集收录了该研究站点历史上多位研究者采集的多批次数据，因此具体数据采集方法存在一定差异。部分数据可免费公开获取，其余数据则需经各数据贡献者自行裁量决定是否开放访问权限。
