Brown bear trophic interactions database

Abstract

This dataset is a unique, highly detailed, spatially-explicit database of trophic interactions of brown bear across Europe and Türkiye. It contains six files: Supplementary Tables 1-4 (Trophic Database); Supplementary Table 5 which shows a list of species in the diet; Supplementary Table 27, summarizing the relative energy contribution of each food item (rEDEC) for each species by subpopulation. FILES INCLUDED Files name Description Supplementary Table 1 List of brown bear diet studies included in our database Supplementary Table 2 Database of diet of brown bear Supplementary Table 3 Coefficient factors (Cf1 and Cf2) associated to each category of diet used to convert rV to rEDEC Supplementary Table 4 This table is a subset of Supplementary Table 2 presenting only the infromation for the selected studies to account for current biotic intercations (See Supplementay Table 1) Supplementary Table 5 List of all species in the diet of brown bear considered with GBIF data of number of occurrences, species key, cleaned occurrences Supplementary Table 27 Matrix showing the summarized data of rEDEC for each species by subpopulation.
