title: Latitudinal variation in biophysical characteristics of avian eggshells to cope with differential effects of solar radiation. [Dataset]

description: Dataset of Kentish plover eggshell characteristics across the Western Palearctic as described in Gómez et al. 2018. Under review in Ecology and Evolution
description: Solar radiation is an important driver of animal coloration, not only because of the effects of coloration on body temperature but also because coloration may protect from the deleterious effects of UV radiation. Indeed, dark coloration may protect from UV, but may increase the risk of overheating. In addition, the effect of coloration on thermoregulation should change with egg size, as smaller eggs have higher surface-volume ratios and greater convective coefficients than larger eggs, so that small eggs can dissipate heat quickly. We tested whether the reflectance of eggshells, egg spottiness and egg size of the ground-nesting Kentish plover Charadrius alexandrinus are affected by maximum ambient temperature and solar radiation at breeding sites. We measured reflectance, both in the UV and human visible spectrum, spottiness and egg size in photographs from a museum collection of plover eggshells. Eggshells of lower reflectance (darker) were found at higher latitudes. However, in southern localities where solar radiation is very high, eggshells are also of dark coloration. Eggshell coloration had no significant relationship with ambient temperature. Spotiness was site-specific. Small eggs tended to be light-coloured. Thermal constraints may drive the observed spatial variation in eggshell coloration, which may be lighter in lower latitudes to diminish the risk of overheating as a result of higher levels of solar radiation. However, in southern localities with very high levels of UV radiation, eggshells are of dark coloration likely to protect embryos from more intense UV radiation. Egg size exhibited variation in relation to coloration, likely through the effect of surface area-to-volume ratios on overheating and cooling rates of eggs. Therefore, differential effects of solar radiation on functions of coloration and size of eggshells may shape latitudinal variations in egg appearance in the Kentish plover.

title: Dogs are the main species involved in animal-vehicle collisions in southern Spain: Daily, seasonal and spatial analyses of collisions

description: The dataset contains the information of the animal-vehicle collisions reported to the traffic authorities in the province of Seville (Andalusia, Spain). Data were provided by the Provincial Directorate of Traffic of Seville (DGT). The dataset includes the year, date and hour of the collision, the day of the week, sunrise and sunset time for Seville the day of collision, the location of the collision (road (Road ID), kilometer point (Km) and coordinates (latitude and longitude) as well as the animal involved in the reported collision. To be published in PLoS ONE
description: Animal-vehicle collisions have become a serious traffic safety issue. Collisions have steadily increased over the last few decades, as have their associated socio-economic costs. Here, we explore the spatial and temporal patterns of animal-vehicle collisions reported to authorities in the province of Seville, southern Spain. Most animal-vehicle collisions involved domestic animals (&gt;95%), particularly dogs (&gt;80%), a pattern that sharply contrasts with that found in other Spanish and European regions, where collisions are mostly caused by game species. Dog-vehicle collisions were related to the traffic intensity of the roads and they were more frequent around dawn and dusk, coinciding with the peaks of activity of dogs. This pattern was consistent throughout the week, although on weekends there were fewer collisions due to lower traffic density at those times. These findings suggest that the aggregation of dog-vehicle collisions around twilight likely resulted from a combined effect of the activity peaks of dogs and traffic density. Seasonally, collisions increased in autumn and winter, coinciding with the period of intense hunting activity in the region. Further, during autumn and winter, rush hour partly overlaps with twilight due to longer nights in comparison with summer and spring, which may contribute to the increased rate of dog-vehicle collisions in these seasons. Spatially, satellite images of nighttime lights showed that dog-vehicle collisions were clustered near urban areas. Overall, the high incidence of stray dogs involved in animal-vehicle collisions highlights a road safety issue with this type of animals in the region

description: Between 2011 and 2012, we conducted transect counts of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), red-necked nightjars (Caprimulgus ruficollis) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) along unpaved roads crossing the protected core of the Doñana National Park and a human-managed area located 10 km apart (37°1–7'N, 6°32–33'W). Rabbit abundance was estimated in April, June and September from transect counts conducted by driving a vehicle at a constant speed of 10-15 km/h along six different road stretches of 15 km each. Between April and September, we conducted weekly counts of road-sitting nightjars by driving a vehicle along a 35-km road circuit at a constant speed of 30 km/h, beginning 1-2 h after dusk. Fox abundance was estimated as the total number of fox sightings during the nightjar counts. In addition, in June and July 2011 and 2012 we examined the patterns of microhabitat selection by nightjars encountered during the nocturnal transects. We recorded their proximity to roadside vegetation (1 cm), measured as the perpendicular distance from the roadside, and vegetation height (1 cm).

description: The Global SPEI database, SPEIbase, offers long-time, robust information on the drought conditions at the global scale, with a 0.5 degrees spatial resolution and a monthly time resolution. It has a multi-scale character, providing SPEI time-scales between 1 and 48 months. The Standardized Precipitatin-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) expresses, as a standardized variate (mean zero and unit variance), the deviations of the current climatic balance (precipitation minus evapotranspiration potential) with respect to the long-term balance. The reference period for the calculation, in the SPEIbase, corresponds to the whole study period. Being a standardized variate means that the SPEI condition can be compared across space and time. Calculation of the evapotranspiration potential in SPEIbase is based on the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method. Data type: float; units: z-values (standard deviations). No land pixels are assigned a value of 1.0x10^30. In some rare cases it was not possible to achieve a good fit to the log-logistic distribution, resulting in a NAN (not a number) value in the database. Dimensions of the dataset: lon = 720; lat = 360; time = 1356. Resolution of the dataset: lon = 0.5º; lat = 0.5º; time = 1 month. Created in R using the SPEI package (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SPEI).
description: Global gridded dataset of the Standardised Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) at time scales between 1 and 48 months. Spatial resolution of 0.5º lat/lon. Temporal coverage between January 1901 and December 2009. This is an update of a previous version of SPEIbase (http://hdl.handle.net/10261/22449). What’s new in version 2.0: 1) Data has been extended to the period 1901-2009 (it was 1901-2006 in v 1.0). 2) The FAO-56 Penman-Monteith's method has been used for computing PET instead of Thornthwaite. 3) Unbiased probability weighted moments (ub-pwm) method has been used for fitting the log-Logistic distribution, instead of the sub-optimal plotting-position pwm method used in version 1.0. 4) The whole world is put in one single netCDF file.
