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.

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.

Title Does bird life-history influence the prevalence of ticks? A citizen science study in North East Spain
Identifier LIFEWATCH-2019-09-CSIC-4, POPE 2014–2020
Funding LIFEWATCH-2019-09-CSIC-4, POPE 2014–2020
Study Area Description Catalonia and surrondings between 2003 and 2020
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.

Sampling Methods

Captured birds by ringers from the Catalan Ornithological Institute in which the presence of ticks was checked and recorded between 2003 and 2020

Study Extent Specific sampling areas from Catalonia and its surroundings between 2003 and 2020
Quality Control The observations are recorded by authorized ringers
