Description
This dataset contains the annual number of breeding pairs of eight hole-nesting bird species across seven long-term study sites in the Netherlands. Data were collected by the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) and hosted at SPI-Birds Network and Database, an intiative that connects researchers working on populations of individually-marked breeding birds, harmonises their data, and facilitates collaboration, synthesis, and data reuse.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,350 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
SPI-Birds Network and Database, or the Studies of Populations of Individual Birds, is a grassroots initiative connecting those working on populations of individually-marked breeding birds. As part of this project, we are building pipelines for different research groups and study sites that convert data in a standard format. We envision this standard format will facilitate greater collaboration by allowing data from multiple study sites and sources to be easily collated and compared. More info: https://spibirds.org/en.

Sampling Methods
No Description available
Method step description:
- At each study site, nest boxes were checked at least once a week. Breeding parameters (such as laying date, clutch type and clutch size) were recorded and adults were captured in the nest box. Adults were identified based on their ring number and newly ringed if they do not have a ring yet.
- These data were transformed into the SPI-Birds standard format (version 1.1; https://github.com/SPI-Birds/documentation/blob/master/standard_protocol/SPI_Birds_Protocol_v1.1.0.pdf) using a tailor-made pipeline (https://github.com/SPI-Birds/pipelines/blob/master/R/format_NIOO.R).
- From the data in the SPI-Birds format, the number of breeding pairs per year, location and species was calculated. This was done by counting the number of first clutches. First clutches refer to the first clutch laid by a female in that season and are defined based on strict decision rules (see page 16 in SPI-Birds Standard Protocol, version 1.1; https://github.com/SPI-Birds/documentation/blob/master/standard_protocol/SPI_Birds_Protocol_v1.1.0.pdf).
