Species composition and abundance of mammalian communities

Thibault KM, Supp SR, Giffin M, White EP, Ernest SKM.  2011.  Species composition and abundance of mammalian communities. Ecology . 92:2316.

Mammalian Community Database now available at Ecological Archives!

Our mammalian community database contains data for 1000 mammalian communities (sorry, no bat data). For 940 of those communities, we have species-level abundance data (the remaining 60 contain only species lists). For each community, we even have location information (as best as we can determine from the original publication). Go check it out - better yet, go do something cool with it!
