Data supporting the Oregon Breeding Bird Atlas
(see data files for a short introduction.)
File: WVDEMOG.TXT
General Description: Provides information on demographic characteristics of each bird species that breeds in the Willamette Valley, if such data were found in a review of published literature (most from the Pacific Northwest). This may include home range size, minimum patch size requirements, number of eggs, broods per year, etc. Literature searched by Paula Graff and assembled by Paul Adamus with partial support from the USEPA. See DEMOGWV.DOC for full description of codes in the data fields listed below.

Although we have made the data from this project accessible to anyone,
all the time the authors spent administering this project, as well as time spent
computerizing, organizing, and documenting the data, was uncompensated.
Moreover, not every limitation of the data has been described.
For these reasons, we request that researchers who wish to publish
statistical analyses of these data please contact us first to discuss
the data and opportunities for joint authorship of resulting publications.
Furthermore, we again thank the Oregon Natural Heritage Program and the
USEPA for sharing with us some of the non-avian data sets.
