Schoener's D and Warren's I: Pathogen-Tick Niche Overlap Indices

Schoener's D and Warren's I indices quantify ecological niche overlap between pathogens and their tick vectors. The 9.5 KB Excel file was authored by Mebuki Ito and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare. Its last update was recorded as 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Calculate niche similarity between species based on Schoener's D index
• Assess ecological overlap using Warren's I index
• Model pathogen-vector co-occurrence patterns from niche overlap metrics
• Compare statistical approaches for quantifying species distribution overlap

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0
• File size is small (9.5 KB), ensuring easy download and handling

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
