Migratory singers dynamically overlap the signal space of a breeding warbler community

Migratory species inhabit many communities along their migratory routes. Across taxa, these species repeatedly move into and out of communities, interacting with each other and locally breeding species and competing for resources and niche space. However, their influence is rarely considered in analyses of ecological processes within the communities they temporarily occupy. Here, we explore the impact of migratory species on a breeding community using the framework of acoustic signal space, a limited resource in which sounds of species within communities co-exist. Migrating New World warblers (Parulidae, hereafter referred to as migrant species) often sing during refueling stops in areas and at times during which locally breeding warbler species (hereafter breeding species) are singing to establish territories and attract mates. We used eBird data to determine co-occurrence of 19 migrant and 11 breeding warbler species across spring migration in SW Michigan, generated a signal space fro..., , , # Data from: Migratory singers dynamically overlap the signal space of a breeding warbler community

## Description of the data and file structure

***Individual Male Song Means.csv***

This dataset contains song trait means for all individual male warblers (n = 329) included in this study.

***Proportion Overlap Data By Species.csv***

This dataset details the proportion niche overlap experienced by breeding warbler species from migrant species, breeding species, and all species (total overlap).

***Linear Model Overlap Data.csv***

This dataset is used to perform a generalized linear model to test whether day of year, migratory status, and their interaction predict pairwise niche overlap.
