基于动物志的鸟类形态特征数据集

A dataset of morphological traits of birds based on Fauna Sinica

基于动物志的鸟类形态特征数据集是在对《中国动物志鸟纲第七卷》相关文字记录数字化处理后,利用专门工具对内容进行提取得到的。本数据集包含书中记录的夜鹰目、雨燕目、咬鹃目、佛法僧目、啄木鸟目(鴷形目)共计5目13科85种鸟类,其每条记录都是对各物种/亚种不同性别各发育阶段的形态、生物学、分布、量衡度等形态描述数据中单一形态特征的提取,以形状、颜色、纹理为主。本数据集为这些类群鸟类生物地理、系统进化等生物学研究提供了基础数据,也为自然语言处理和理解研究提供了珍贵的语料资源。

The dataset of morphological traits of birds based on Fauna Sinica is obtained through content extraction by using special tools after digitizing the related records of the book Fauna Sinica(Aves 7).This dataset contains 85 species of birds,13 families in 5 orders recorded in the book,including Caprimulgiformes,Apodiformes,Trogoniformes,Coraciiformes,and Piciformes.Each record in this dataset is an extraction of the single morphological characteristics from morphology,biology,distribution,measurement,and other morphological description data of different species/subspecies in different genders and various developmental stages,mainly in shape,color,and texture.This dataset provides not only basic data for the biological research on these birds groups,such as biogeography and phylogeny,but also valuable corpus resources for natural language processing and understanding research.
