This dataset compiles records of modern biogenic structures (<i>lebensspuren</i>) associated with stamping behavior in flamingos (family Phoenicopteridae) across a wide range of environmental settings. The data span from the 18th to the 21st century and were gathered from both peer-reviewed scientific literature and video records available through citizen science collaborative platforms. Each entry documents behavioral categories such as stamping, rotating stamping, dislocating stampamg, false stamping and standing stamping, classified by flamingo species and contextualized with environmental, hydrological, and sedimentological descriptors (e.g., sediment type, salinity, pH, and Köppen climate classification). Geographic locality and full references are also provided, when available. The dataset was developed to support comparative analyses of behavioral-environmental patterns across different flamingo species and to offer a synthetic overview of the family Phoenicopteridae in terms of behavioral trace formation and associated environmental variables. Additionally, it was designed to facilitate direct comparison with the distribution of the flamingo ichnological fossil record, enabling evaluations of inferred paleoenvironmental associations based on trace fossil occurrences. This resource is particularly useful for researchers interested in:The analysis of modern biogenic structures and their preservation potential in various sedimentary contexts;Behavioral studies of flamingos and their interactions with diverse environments;Applications in comparative ichnology and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
