Full AVONET morphological and ecological trait data for 9,993 bird species
Source:R/data.R
avonet_full.RdThe full-scale counterpart to avonet300: every bird species
for which AVONET3 and the BirdTree Stage2 Hackett MCC phylogeny agree on
both a species label and a complete set of continuous morphometric
measurements. The schema is identical to avonet300 (same trait
columns, same factor encodings, same Species_Key column) so any
code that runs on avonet300 runs on avonet_full with no
modification.
Format
A data frame with 9,993 rows and 8 variables. Columns match
avonet300: Species_Key, Mass,
Beak.Length_Culmen, Tarsus.Length, Wing.Length,
Trophic.Level, Primary.Lifestyle, Migration.

Details
Unlike the 300-species subset, native AVONET missingness is PRESERVED in
the two ecological columns: 4 NAs in Trophic.Level and 20 NAs in
Migration. The four continuous columns are complete by construction.
Use avonet_full + tree_full to exercise pigauto at
real-world scale (the AVONET missingness sweep benchmark uses this
dataset). For quick examples or unit tests, prefer the 300-species
avonet300 subset – it is ~30x smaller and loads instantly.
See avonet300 for the full column schema (same traits and
encodings).
