title: Both source and recipient range phylogenetic community structure can predict the outcome of avian introductions

description: Competing phylogenetic models have been proposed to explain the success of
 species introduced to other communities. Here, we present a study
 predicting the establishment success of birds introduced to Florida,
 Hawaii, and New Zealand using several alternative models, considering
 species’ phylogenetic relatedness to source and recipient range taxa,
 propagule pressure, and traits. We find consistent support for the
 predictive ability of source region phylogenetic structure. However, we
 find that the effects of recipient region phylogenetic structure vary in
 sign and magnitude depending on inclusion of source region phylogenetic
 structure, delineation of the recipient species pool, and the use of
 phylogenetic correction in the models. We argue that tests of alternative
 phylogenetic hypotheses including the both source and recipient community
 phylogenetic structure, as well as important covariates such as propagule
 pressure, are likely to be critical for identifying general phylogenetic
 patterns in introduction success, predicting future invasions, and for
 stimulating further exploration of the underlying mechanisms of
 invasibility.
description: This dataset describes the success or failure of bird
 introductions in New Zealand, Florida, and Hawaii, along with associated
 phylogenetic data from both source (i.e. native) and recipient regions
 (i.e. the regions they were introduced to). The data
 used in this manuscript are derived from previously published sources,
 including range maps from Birdlife International (https://www.birdlife.org/),
 phylogenies from Birdtree.org (https://birdtree.org/), political
 division boundaries from the GADM dataset (https://gadm.org/), and introduction
 success/failure data as compiled by Maitner et al. 2012
 (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1600-0587.2011.07176.x). Data processing is documented in the Maitner et al. 2021, and the code for data processing is available at https://github.com/bmaitner/bird_invasion_phylogenetics.
description: <strong>Column names:</strong>
 Columns with the prefix "s_" or "r_" refer to

 "vpd","spd", and "kpd" refer to Faith's
 Phylogenetic Diversity, Phylogenetic Nearest Neighbor Distance, Mean
 Phylogenetic Distance, Variance of Phylogenetic Distance, Skewness of
 Phylogenetic Distance, and Kurtosis of Phylogenetic Distance,
 respectively.

 All continuous variables (phylogenetic metrics, richness metrics,
 and area metrics) have been scaled and centered.
