Datasets of breeding records of Neotropical birds

So far, after 39 museums visited in Latin America, Europe and USA, the project has amassed a collection of ~ 55,000 egg sets of Neotropical birds. This dataset has been used in several of my own studies and by graduate students of my lab (Laboratório de Ecologia e Conservação de Aves / Bird Ecology and Conservation Lab) at the Zoology Department, University of Brasília (UnB), Brasília, Brazil. You can reach many of these publications at RESEARCHGATE (Miguel Ângelo Marini (researchgate.net)), ORCID (orcid.org/0000-0002-7300-7321), or CV LATTES (lattes.cnpq.br/7912919431438847).

Here, you will find parts of the 55,000-dataset associated to specific published papers. The full dataset is not available yet since my Lab is still analyzing most of it and since a large part of the dataset is still under taxonomic resolution. The first dataset available is from the following article: Sousa NOM, Heming NM, Marini MÂ (2024) Clutch size but not egg size associates with migration distance in South American land birds.
