Data from Dalrymple. et al. Abiotic and biotic predictors of macroecological patterns in bird and butterfly coloration. Ecological Monographs Data for each grid cell in the study range is presented, including bird and butterfly colour (response) variables and environmental (predictor) variables. Predictor variables relate to the community diversity and averages of the data available for the energy and resources in the environment and the habitat conditions in the grid cells. See manuscript for details on data sourcing and units on environmental variables. see Dalrymple et al 2015 Birds, butterflies and flowers in the tropics are not more colourful than those at higher latitudes. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 24(12), 1424-1432. DOI: 10.1111/geb.12368 for information on bird and butterfly color data and methodology. .csv file本数据集数据源自Dalrymple等人发表于《Ecological Monographs》（《生态专论》）的论文《鸟类与蝴蝶体色宏观生态格局（macroecological patterns）的非生物与生物预测因子》（原文标题：Abiotic and biotic predictors of macroecological patterns in bird and butterfly coloration）。 本数据集收录了研究覆盖范围内各网格单元的全部相关数据，包含鸟类与蝴蝶体色（因变量，response variable）以及环境（预测变量，predictor variable）两类变量。其中预测变量涵盖群落多样性、研究区域内可获取的环境能量与资源数据的均值，以及各网格单元的生境条件等维度。 有关环境变量的数据来源与计量单位的详细信息，请参阅原研究论文。 有关鸟类与蝴蝶体色数据及研究方法的详细信息，请参阅Dalrymple等人2015年发表于《Global Ecology and Biogeography》（《全球生态学与生物地理学》）的论文《热带地区鸟类、蝴蝶与花卉的体色并不优于高纬度类群》（原文标题：Birds, butterflies and flowers in the tropics are not more colourful than those at higher latitudes），该文刊载于该刊第24卷第12期，页码范围1424-1432，DOI: 10.1111/geb.12368。 本数据集为.csv格式文件。
