Type: Peer-reviewed empirical study. Method: Direct contact with corresponding authors of 516 ecology and evolutionary biology papers, sampled at two-year intervals 1991-2011, requesting raw morphological data underlying the publications.
Key findings used in this graph:
- 19% of dataset requests delivered (E-0001)
- ~17%-per-year decline in conditional dataset survival probability (E-0005)
- Methodology established for subsequent direct-contact replications (E-0002, E-0003, E-0004)
