A Global Database of Tetrapod Population Density Estimates
TetraDENSITY is an open database of empirical population density estimates for the four tetrapod classes: amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. It compiles density estimates from the primary scientific literature into a single, harmonised resource, enabling researchers to ask large-scale questions about how animal populations vary across species, habitats, and the planet.
