Vital rate estimates for the common eider Somateria mollissima, a data-rich exemplar of the seaduck tribe

This database contains estimates of the following vital rates (as required to parameterise matrix population models), for the common eider (Somateria mollissima): 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 This is a relational database, linking estimates and associated metadata to the relevant study (or unique unpublished combination thereof) by a unique ID number in the 'MASTER' sheet. For furthe..., We surveyed published academic and grey literature via keyword searches (e.g. “Somateria mollissima” “clutch size”) through Google Scholar, ‘citation snowballing’ (pursuing reference trails; see e.g. Greenhalgh & Peacock, 2005), and cross-referencing authors’ personal databases. Additionally, a call for data was posted on the IUCN Species Survival Commission’s Duck Specialist Group website (www.ducksg.org/2018/10/seaducks/the-not-so-common-eider-can-you-help/), circulated through the corresponding mailing list, and advertised by ANH on Twitter in January 2019 and at conferences (the British Ecological Society’s ‘Quantitative Ecology’ meeting in July 2019; the European Ornithologists’ Union Conference in August 2019; and the Ecological Society of America’s annual meeting in August 2020) thereafter. The call for data elicited three previously inaccessible datasets, of which one was recorded in Icelandic and another in Russian, broadening language coverage since non-English language re..., Please note the following update (also provided in the updated README): ** update 2023/02/20 ** > subspecies 'borealis ' corrected to 'borealis' (i.e. removed space) for ID's 20 and 21 in MASTER and master sheet of full database > replaced blank cell with 'N/A' for ID 80 in SUBhs and hatch success sheet of full database > corrected reversed latitude and longitude for ID 62 (which are incorrect in source) in MASTER and master sheet of full database ******************************************************************************************************************************************************* This results in _corrected versions of three items (the originals are retained for clarity): Nicol-Harper_202110_VitalRates_dataset_SUBhs_corrected.csv Nicol-Harper_202110_VitalRates_dataset_MASTER_corrected.csv Nicol-Harper_202110_VitalRates_dataset_FullDatabase_corrected.xlsx ... and an _updated README: Nicol-Harper_202110_VitalRates_README_updated.txt ***************************...本数据库为普通绒鸭（Somateria mollissima）提供了构建矩阵种群模型（matrix population models）所需的以下生命率（vital rates）估算值：1龄存活率（计算起点可为孵化当日或离巢当日，至满1周岁）、二龄存活率、成体年存活率、首次繁殖相关指标（包括年龄特异性招募概率，以及潜在招募年龄范围内的繁殖倾向）、已定居雌性繁殖个体的繁殖倾向、窝卵数、孵化成功率以及离巢成功率。 这些估算值源自134项研究，涵盖学术文献与灰色文献（grey literature），其中包含3份此前无法获取的窝卵数数据集，这些数据集是通过国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）物种生存委员会（Species Survival Commission）下属鸭类专家小组（Duck Specialist Group）发起的数据征集活动征集而来（数据集编号：127、A及B）。本数据库为关系型数据库（relational database），通过"MASTER"工作表中的唯一编号，将生命率估算值及其关联元数据（metadata）与对应研究（或其专属未公开组合）进行关联。为进一步[内容截断]，本研究通过谷歌学术（Google Scholar）以关键词检索（如"Somateria mollissima""窝卵数"）、引文滚雪球法（citation snowballing，即追踪参考文献链；详见Greenhalgh & Peacock, 2005）以及交叉参考作者个人数据库的方式，对已发表的学术文献与灰色文献进行了调研。 此外，本研究还通过国际自然保护联盟物种生存委员会鸭类专家小组官网（www.ducksg.org/2018/10/seaducks/the-not-so-common-eider-can-you-help/）发布数据征集公告，并通过对应邮件列表进行传播；ANH于2019年1月在推特（Twitter）以及后续的多个学术会议上宣传该征集活动，包括2019年7月的英国生态学会（British Ecological Society）"定量生态学"会议、2019年8月的欧洲鸟类学家联盟（European Ornithologists' Union）大会，以及2020年8月的美国生态学会（Ecological Society of America）年会。 此次数据征集活动共获取3份此前无法获取的数据集，其中1份以冰岛语记录，另1份以俄语记录，拓宽了数据集的语言覆盖范围，因非英语语言的[内容截断]。 请注意以下更新内容（更新后的自述文件中也已同步说明）： ** 2023年2月20日更新 ** > 针对完整数据库的"MASTER"工作表及主工作表中编号为20和21的条目，将亚种名"borealis "修正为"borealis"（即移除名称后的空格） > 针对完整数据库的SUBhs与孵化成功率工作表中编号为80的条目，将空白单元格替换为"N/A" > 针对完整数据库的"MASTER"工作表及主工作表中编号为62的条目，修正了经纬度颠倒的错误（原始来源数据已存在该错误） 本次更新生成了3份修正后的文件（为便于对照，原始文件仍予以保留）： Nicol-Harper_202110_VitalRates_dataset_SUBhs_corrected.csv Nicol-Harper_202110_VitalRates_dataset_MASTER_corrected.csv Nicol-Harper_202110_VitalRates_dataset_FullDatabase_corrected.xlsx 以及一份更新后的自述文件：Nicol-Harper_202110_VitalRates_README_updated.txt
