description: Topic

The main aim of the dataset compilation is exploring the relationship between the latitude variation and the incubation duration in birds/ reptiles. The latitude variation generally causes the change of temperature. So relevent data is included is ambient temperature. Through browsering literatures online, 30 species of birds/ reptiles as well as their incubation duration, latitude, and ambient temperature in relevent studies were found and listed. Other information such as longitude, accepted name of species, and year of study were also listed.
