Description
The data consist of records of individual birds captured by ringers from the Catalan Ornithological Institute (ICO) between 2003 and 2020 in which tick presence was checked and recorded.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 473,326 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
The aim of the project was to predict bird life-history traits associated with the presence of ticks. Additionally, we evaluated whether citizen science observations could provide valuable parasitological information.

| Design Description | The goal of the study was to identify the avian species with higher prevalence of ticks and determine the life-history traits associated to tick presence. Furthermore compare the tick prevalence found in this study by amateur ringers with other previous studies performed by trained entomologist analysing the incidence of ticks in birds, to detect the possible bias in tick detection using citizen science. |
