Vocalizations of the squirrel family

<p>The dataset <b>Squirrel_Calls</b> is a collection of vocal records (defined as primary literature that numerically describes the vocalization of at least 1 squirrel species) where each row corresponds to a single call type of one species. The details of the row include a summary of the literature metadata, categorical descriptions of the call and the caller as well as numerical values of the call frequencies. The dataset <b>Squirrel_Ecological_Traits</b> is a corresponding set of ecological traits for all the species listed in the Squirrel_Calls dataset. The traits listed (mass, time partitioning, gliding capabilities, habitat, and sociality) reflect hypotheses and predictions explored in the associated article. At the end of this document, there is a complete list of the literature references used to assemble these datasets. <b>Squirrel_Script </b>is the R script used to produce the statistics and models used in the corresponding paper. <b>Squirrel_Tree </b>is a nexus file compiling the data of 1000 trees downloaded from VertLife.org which were subsetted from their published mammalian supertree. The nexus file was used in the R script.</p>
