Dataset: Species presence, trait and philogeny database. Data from: Shift from trait convergence to divergence along old field succession. Journal of Vegetation Science.
<p>This dataset was use in the manuscript "Shift from trait convergence to divergence along old field succession" publish at Journal of Vegetation Science. It contains the data of species presence at three different plots and species trait values (SLA, LDMC, height, seed weight and Phylogeny). We show that at the initial stage of succession, there is a scale-invariant pattern of trait convergence. On the contrary, in the late and intermediate stages of succession we observed that trait divergence became frequent at smaller grains and extents. The trend along the chronosequence is consistent with the theoretical hypothesis that predicts a shift from convergence to divergence along succession.</p>
Data from: AmpuBase: a transcriptome database for eight species of apple snails (Gastropoda: Ampullariidae)
Background: Gastropoda, with approximately 80,000 living species, is the largest class of Mollusca. Among gastropods, apple snails (family Ampullariidae) have members that are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems and are ecologically and economically important. They exhibit various morphological and physiological adaptations to their respective habitats, which make them ideal candidates for studying adaptation, population divergence, speciation, and larger-scale patterns of diversity, including biogeography of native and invasive populations. The limited availability of genomic data, however, hinders in-depth ecological and evolutionary studies of these non-model organisms. Results: Using Illumina Hiseq platforms, we sequenced 1,220 million reads for seven species of apple snails. Together with the RNA-Seq data of two apple snails, we conducted de novo transcriptome assembly of eight species covering five genera of Ampullariidae, including representatives of the Old World and New World lineages. There were 20,730 to 35,828 unigenes with predicted open read frames for the eight species, with N50 (shortest sequence length at 50% of the unigenes) ranging from 1,320 to 1,803 bp. 69.7 % to 80.2 % of these unigenes were functionally annotated by searching against databases of NCBI's non-redundant, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes. With these data we developed AmpuBase, a relational database that features online BLAST for DNA/protein sequences, keyword search for unigenes/functional terms, and download functions for sequences and whole transcriptomes. Conclusions: In summary, we have generated comprehensive transcriptome data for multiple ampullariid genera and species, and created a publicly accessible database with a user-friendly interface to facilitate future basic and applied studies on ampullariids, and comparative molecular studies with other invertebrates.

Figure 1 in A student-based expansion of the strategies of reproduction in fish (STOREFISH) database to 288 North American freshwater and anadromous species for 14 egg and larval traits
Figure 1. – Data in the STOREFISH database summarized by origin and family, and mapped onto the phylogeny of teleost families from Rabosky et al. (2018). Values in bold are the median number of records across all species in that family (followed by the associated 2.5 and 97.5% quantiles if the number of species in a family is ≥3). Values not in bold are medians for the number of traits for which data are available across all species in that family (followed by quantiles if ≥3 species). Not included in this phylogeny are the families Lotidae (1 species; 69 | 14), Petromyzontidae (11 species; 2, 1, 34 | 2, 1, 9.25), and Thymallidae (2 species; 72 | 13).
