Data and R script for "Zoo flagships: predictors of animal sponsorship to support zoo-based conservation activities"

Investigation of predictors of the number of sponsors a zoo animal receives, incorporating data from seven diverse zoos in the UK and phylogenetic information. The dataset includes information on the number of sponsors a species has at a given zoo, the position of the common name of the species in alphabetic order for a given zoo's sponsorship list, body mass (kg), conservation status (IUCN Red List category), diet (herbivory, carnivory, or omnivory), activity patterns (diurnal, crepuscular, nocturnal or cathemeral), phylogenetic distance from humans (in millions of years since a given species divergence from humans), and whether the species is typically housed in groups or singly in zoo settings. A phylogenetic tree containing the species from the dataset is also included here, as is an R script for conducted the analyses in the study.

本数据集围绕动物园动物所获赞助商数量的预测因子展开研究，纳入英国7家不同动物园的相关数据与系统发育（phylogenetic）信息。数据集涵盖以下内容：某物种在指定动物园的赞助商数量、该物种常用名在对应动物园赞助名单中的字母排序位次、体重（千克）、保护等级（国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）红色名录类别）、食性（植食性、肉食性或杂食性）、活动模式（昼行、晨昏活动、夜行或全日夜活动）、与人类的系统发育距离（以该物种与人类分化以来的百万年数为单位），以及该物种在动物园饲养场景中通常采取群居还是独居饲养方式。此外，本数据集还附带涵盖数据集内所有物种的系统发育树，以及用于开展本研究数据分析的R脚本。
