The data in this repository were used to conduct the analysis outlined in the following bioRxiv preprint: Sarah Hayes, Joe Hilton, Joaquin Mould-Quevedo, Christl Donnelly, Matthew Baylis, Liam Brierley (2025) "Ecology and environment predict spatially stratified risk of H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza clade 2.3.4.4b in wild birds across Europe" bioRxiv doi:10.1101/2024.07.17.603912 The codes used for the analyses are available at https://github.com/sarahhayes/avian_flu_sdm/ The following lookup table can be used to cross-reference between the variable descriptions in Tables 1 and 2 of the preprint and the files in this repository: Variable description Filename Minimum elevation (metres above sea level) elevation_min_10kres.tif Maximum elevation (metres above sea level) elevation_max_10kres.tif Difference between minimum and maximum elevation elevation_diff_10kres.tif Modal elevation (metres above sea level) elevation_mode_10kres.tif Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) ndvi_*_quart_2022_eco_rasts.tif Land cover landcover_output_full_2022_10kres.tif Distance to coast dist_to_coast_10kres.csv Distance to inland water dist_to_water_output_10kres.csv Relative humidity mean_relative_humidity_q*_10kres_eco_quarts.tif Seasonal weighted mean of the month-wise difference in the minimum temperature and maximum temperature (degrees Celsius) mean_diff_*_quart_eco_rasts.tif Seasonal weighted mean of monthly mean temperatures (degrees Celsius) (Mean monthly temperature for each month calculated using: Mean temperature = Minimum temperature + diurnal range/2) mean_mean_*_quart_eco_rasts.tif Seasonal temperature variation (degrees Celsius)(Difference between the maximum and minimum ofmean monthly temperature values across monthsmajority-represented within the season) variation_in_quarterly_mean_temp_q*_eco_rasts.tif Precipitation mean_prec_*_quart_eco_rasts.tif Seasonal mean of daily zero-degree isotherm (metresabove sea level) isotherm_mean_q*_eco_rasts.tif Number of days the zerodegree isotherm was below 1 metre at midday at Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) isotherm_midday_days_below1_q*_eco_quarts.tif Chicken density chicken_density_2010_10kres.tif Duck density duck_density_2010_10kres.tif Anatinae (dabbling ducks) anatinae_rast_eco_bds.tif Anserinae (swans and geese) anserinae_rast_eco_bds.tif Ardeidae (herons) ardeidae_rast_eco_bds.tif Arenaria/Calidris (turnstones and sandpipers) arenaria_calidris_rast_eco_bds.tif Aythyini (diving ducks) aythyini_rast_eco_bds.tif Laridae (gulls) laridae_rast_eco_bds.tif Percentage time spent feeding within 2m of water surface around_surf_rast_eco_bds.tif Percentage time spent feeding >2m below water surface below_surf_rast_eco_bds.tif Percentage diet plants plant_rast_eco_bds.tif Percentage diet scavenging scav_rast_eco_bds.tif Percentage diet endothermic vertebrates vend_rast_eco_bds.tif Congregative cong_rast_eco_bds.tif Migratory migr_rast_eco_bds.tif Below threshold phylogenetic distance to known host species host_dist_rast_eco_bds.tif Species richness species_richness_rast_eco_bds.tif
