Abstract:
The table is divided into three sections, the first covering scavenging birds, the second non-scavenging cliff-nesting birds and the third covering the remaining species. Scavengers are separated into type 1 (obligate) and type 2 (facultative, ranging from frequent to occasional). Scavengers that are also cliff nesters are assigned an * if they are solitary nesters and ** if they are colonial. Each species is allocated to a size class according to the following scale: 1 - all individuals <100 g; 2 - some individuals <100 g and others between 100 and 1 kg; 3 – all individuals between 100 and 1 kg; 4 – some individuals between 100 g-1 kg and others between 1–10 kg; 5 all individuals between 1 and 10 kg; and 6 some individuals between 1–10 kg and others >10 kg. Species which are overrepresented in Palaeolithic sites (Middle and Upper) compared to paleontological sites, tested by chi-square (Text S1), are indicated by a “yes”. Species that are overrepresented in Middle over Upper Palaeolithic sites are similarly indicated. Degree of significance: *** p<0.001; **p<0.01; *p<0.05. Cases of possible overrepresentation in Palaeolithic sites but with sample sizes that are too small to provide definitive evidence are indicated as “possible”. Remige feather colour: d = dark; i = intermediate - this includes birds with light brown or more often spotting or barred patterns so have some white and some dark per feather; and m = mix where some feathers are white (e.g. primaries) and some are black (e.g. secondaries). Over-repr. = over-represented; PS = Palaeolithic sites; MPS = Middle Palaeolithic sites. Statistical analyses are provided in Tables S6 and Text S1.
