Lineage
Following a data call in May 2017, breeding bird data of 30 species for the years 1991-2016 were supplied by authorities from Contracting Parties of HELCOM, except Russia and Lithuania. Breeding bird abundance was reported in numbers of breeding pairs, but Swedish data referred to numbers of males and individuals. The dataset was modified by removing zero counts and by including missing observations in 10 April 2019.
