There’s some more interesting stuff in the paper, including some phylogenetic analyses, but we really hope other folks will use the database for their own exploration. You can access it here: sites.google.com/nyu.edu/avia... 4/4

Interestingly, oceanic birds are least likely to be named after physical traits (26%). South American species are most likely to be named after physical traits (74%) and least likely to be named with human-centered terminology (6%). 3/4

Most species (57%) are named after a physical trait, with 933 named after a trait present in males only, and a mere 20 named after female-only traits. 810 are named after people. 2/4
