Data Management Plan (se abrirá en una nueva ventana)

I have led and co-coordinated two teams in an intensive field work campaign across high-elevation forests of the two continental islands Trinidad & Tobago and nine oceanic islands of the Lesser Antilles in the East Caribbean Sea (11 islands, 5 replicates on each). In contrast to Trinidad & Tobago, the Lesser Antilles have never had a continental connection, are sufficiently isolated to sustain endemism and are close enough to sources of colonization to display a dynamic interaction with surrounding continental areas. This system is thus ideally suited to study effects of insularity (e.g., isolation, area) and environmental factors (e.g., climate) on ecosystem functions. The data is the first of its kind on islands worldwide, as it combines information about bird-mediated pollination and seed dispersal, functional bird and plant traits, as well as information about infections with blood parasites. To obtain this data, we mist-netted birds, collected pollen, faecal and blood samples from all bird individuals and additionally measured functional traits related to pollination and frugivory (beak shape, tarsus, body mass). The data comprises 1630 bird individuals, from 68 species. Further, we collected functional flower, fruit and seed traits from all flowering and fruiting plant species encountered at the sampling sites (floral corolla shape, fruit & seed size). The collected pollen and seed samples are being identified to species level and the blood samples will be screened for parasites in the laboratory in collaboration with parasitology experts. This unique and comprehensive dataset represents an unprecedented opportunity to understand how bird-plant interaction networks assemble across islands and evaluate the relative importance of insularity, environmental factors, functional traits and parasites in the process.I will integrate methods from: (a) mutualistic interaction networks, (b) functional ecology, (c) parasitology, and (d) island biogeography. I will analyse the largest dataset of empirical pollination networks and the only dataset of empirical seed-dispersal networks spanning the islands of the East Caribbean. I will link this data to functional traits and infection status of species for the first time in close collaboration with several international institutes.I will use existing online open- access repositories (e.g., Figshare, institutional repositories and my personal Github) and use internationally accepted data standards for data formatting (interoperable and reusable data), to assure FAIR data and code publication.
