Predicting HPAI H5N1 Susceptibility in Wild Birds: Outbreak Data and Ecological Traits

Three datasets totaling 10.3 MB support a study predicting high pathogenicity avian influenza H5N1 susceptibility in wild birds. The data includes outbreak notifications with location and date, species ecological traits, and a family-level phylogenetic tree. Authored by Sara Ryding and last updated in May 2026, the collection is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling phylogenetic signals in disease outbreaks based on family-level taxonomic data.
• Predicting host susceptibility to HPAI H5N1 based on species traits like diet and habitat.
• Mapping historical outbreak events using provided latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Analyzing the relationship between species' congregating behavior and disease notification events.

Strengths

• Includes three linked datasets (outbreak events, species traits, Australian birds) for integrated analysis.
• Provides a family-level phylogenetic tree (TRE format) for evolutionary analysis.
• Contains specific ecological traits like diet, habitat grouping, and congregating behavior.

Limitations

• Row counts are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the description or accompanying R script.
