Contains estimated escape distance of the incubating bird when a human approached the nest for species of biparentally incubating shorebirds (from literature, online survey and primary data). We have used these data to calculate species median escape distance that we then used in the analyses.

2. scinam: scientific name of the species

7. watch: is partner of the incubating parent on the watch for predators (y - yes, n -no)
8. watch_sex_specific: qualitatively describes whether watch (if "watch" = "yes") is specific to the female/male or no difference among sexes
