AusTraits: a curated plant trait database for the Australian flora

<p>AusTraits is a transformative database, containing measurements on the traits of Australia's plant taxa, standardised from hundreds of disconnected primary sources. So far, data have been assembled from &gt; 300 distinct sources, describing &gt; 500 plant traits and &gt; 34,000 taxa.</p> <p>To handle the harmonising of diverse data sources, we use a reproducible workflow to implement the various changes required for each source to reformat it suitable for incorporation in AusTraits. Such changes include restructuring datasets, renaming variables, changing variable units, changing taxon names. While this repository contains the harmonised data, the raw data and code used to build the resource are also available on the project's GitHub repository, <a href="https://github.com/traitecoevo/austraits.build/">https://github.com/traitecoevo/austraits.build/</a>.</p> <p>Further information on the project is available at the project website <a href="https://austraits.org">austraits.org</a>&nbsp;and in&nbsp;the associated publication (see below).</p> <p><strong>CONTRIBUTORS</strong></p> <p>The project is jointly led by Dr Daniel Falster (UNSW Sydney), Dr Rachael Gallagher (Western Sydney University), Dr Elizabeth Wenk (UNSW Sydney), and Dr Herv&eacute; Sauquet (Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust Sydney), with input from &gt; 300 contributors from over &gt; 100 institutions (see full list above).

Zooplankton functional trait database for Canadian lakes

<p>This dataset contains functional traits of 102 crustacean zooplankton taxa sampled in 624 Canadian lakes (Pelagic sample), as well as 58 sub-fossil cladoceran taxa (Sediments sample) sampled in 101 lakes. Lakes were sampled across Canada as part of the NSERC Canadian LakePulse Network. The traits used are: feeding type (B(<em>Bosmina</em>)-filtration, C(<em>Chydorus</em>)-filtration, D(<em>Daphia</em>)-filtration, S(<em>Sidae</em>)-filtration, stationary suspension or raptorial), habitat (littoral, pelagic or intermediate) and trophic group (carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, or a combination of these). Pelagic species length of up to 10 individuals per taxon per lake were measured by BSA Environmental Services (Ohio, U.S.A.), and averaged for each taxon. Sediments sample lengths were either obtained from the literature (Demott &amp; Kerfoot, 1982; Barnett et al., 2007; Griffiths et al., 2019), or from the Pelagic sample length data. Feeding type, habitat and trophic group functional traits were obtained from literature (Demott &amp; Kerfoot, 1982; Barnett et al., 2007; H&eacute;bert et al., 2016; Griffiths et al., 2019).</p> <p>References</p> <p>Barnett, A.

Functional traits database for North American birds

<p>Estimation of functional diversity in biological communities requires extensive and complete data on numerous functional traits of species or even individuals. When estimating functional diversity at large scales, this fact possesses an issue that may be hard to overcome: for many species, there might not be sufficient data on their functional traits. In such cases, even if there is missing information on functional trait value for one species in a community, this makes the trait impossible to use for the estimation of the functional diversity of a community. On the other hand, there are available datasets on the functional traits of all extant species within certain lineages across the world, but such datasets are often limited to very few functional traits, missing some dimensions of species&#39; ecological niches. In this dataset, I compiled the available data from various sources that describe 23 functional traits of 703 bird species that occur in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. These functional traits include the following: diet type, diurnal and nocturnal feeding, diet items,&nbsp;feeding methods, feeding substrate, nest type, nest substrates, breeding system, chick&nbsp;development at hatching, nest aggregation, clutch size, first breeding age, number of clutches a&nbsp;year, breeding success, adult annual survival, mean biomass, maximum lifespan, hand-wing&nbsp;index, kleptoparasitism, nest parasitism, and the extent of dependency on other species for&nbsp;building a nest.</p>

Frugivoria: A trait database for birds and mammals exhibiting frugivory across contiguous Neotropical moist forests

Biodiversity in many areas is rapidly shifting and declining as a consequence of global change. As such, there is an urgent need for new tools and strategies to help identify, monitor, and conserve biodiversity hotspots. One way to identify these areas is by quantifying functional diversity, which measures the unique roles of species within a community and is valuable for conservation because of its relationship with ecosystem functioning. Unfortunately, the trait information required to evaluate functional diversity is often lacking and is difficult to harmonize across disparate data sources. Biodiversity hotspots are particularly lacking in this information. To address this knowledge gap, we compiled Frugivoria, a trait database containing dietary, life-history, morphological, and geographic traits, for mammals and birds exhibiting frugivory, which are important for seed dispersal, an essential ecosystem service. Accompanying Frugivoria is an open workflow that harmonizes trait and taxonomic data from disparate sources and enables users to analyze traits in space. This version of Frugivoria contains mammal and bird species found in contiguous moist montane forests and adjacent moist lowland forests of Central and South America– the latter specifically focusing on the Andean states. In total, Frugivoria includes 45,216 unique trait values, including new values and harmonized values from existing databases. Frugivoria adds 23,707 new trait values (8,709 for mammals and 14,999 for birds) for a total of 1,733 bird and mammal species. These traits include diet breadth, habitat breadth, habitat specialization, body size, sexual dimorphism, and range-based geographic traits including range size, average annual mean temperature and precipitation, and metrics of human impact calculated over the range. Frugivoria fills gaps in trait categories from other databases such as diet category, home range size, generation time, and longevity, and extends certain traits, once only a

A global database of bird nest traits

<p>The reproductive success of birds is closely tied to the characteristics of their nests. It is crucial to understand the distribution of nest traits across phylogenetic and geographic dimensions to gain insight into bird evolution and adaptation. Despite the extensive historical documentation on breeding behavior, a structured dataset describing bird nest characteristics has been lacking. To address this gap, we have compiled a comprehensive dataset that characterizes three ecologically and evolutionarily significant nest traits—site, structure, and attachment—for 9,248 bird species, representing all 36 orders and 241 out of the 244 families. By defining seven sites, seven structures, and four attachment types, we have systematically classified the nests of each species using information from text descriptions, photos, and videos sourced from online databases and literature. This nest traits dataset serves as a valuable addition to the existing body of morphological and ecological trait data for bird species, providing a useful resource for a wide range of avian macroecological and macroevolutionary research.</p>

Sharkipedia: A Curated Open Access Database of Shark and Ray Life History Traits and Abundance Time-series

<p>This dataset represent the intial launch of Sharkipedia: a curated open access database of shark and ray life history traits and abundance time-series. A curated database of shark and ray biological data is increasingly necessary both to support fisheries management and conservation efforts, and to test the generality of hypotheses of vertebrate macroecology and macroevolution. Sharks and rays are one of the most charismatic, evolutionary distinct, and threatened lineages of vertebrates, comprising around 1,250 species. To accelerate shark and ray conservation and science, we developed Sharkipedia as a curated open-source database and research initiative to make all published biological traits and population trends accessible to everyone. Sharkipedia hosts information on 58 life history traits from 264 sources, for 170 species, from 39 families, and 12 orders related to length (n=9 traits), age (8), growth (12), reproduction (19), demography (5), and allometric relationships (5), as well as 871 population time-series from 202 species. Sharkipedia relies on the backbone taxonomy of the IUCN Red List and the bibliography of Shark-References. Sharkipedia has profound potential to support the rapidly growing data demands of fisheries management, international trade regulation as well as anchoring vertebrate macroecology and macroevolution.</p>

One way to identify these areas is by quantifying functional diversity, which measures the unique roles of species within a community and is valuable for conservation because of its relationship with ecosystem functioning.

Accompanying Frugivoria is an open workflow that harmonizes trait and taxonomic data from disparate sources and enables users to analyze traits in space. This version of Frugivoria encompasses species in moist montane forests of Central and South America. Compared with existing trait databases, Frugivoria adds 25 species (reclassifying 199 to align with the most recent taxonomic changes), adds new traits such as observed and inferred range size, habitat specialization, and body size, and also fills gaps in trait categories from other databases such as diet category, home range size, generation time, and longevity. Overall, Frugivoria adds 2,045 new trait values for mammals and 4,022 for birds, and includes a total of 17,454 trait entries with minimums and maximums reported for certain traits. Frugivoria and its workflow enables researchers to quantify relationships between traits and the environment, as well as spatial trends in functional diversity, contributing to basic knowledge and applied conservation of frugivores

The FloRes Database: A floral resources trait database for pollinator habitat-assessment generated by a multistep workflow

<p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>The decline of pollinating insects in agricultural landscapes proceeds due to intensive land use and the associated loss of habitat and food sources. The feeding of those insects depends on the spatial and temporal distribution of nectar and pollen as food resources. Hence, to protect insect biodiversity a spatio-temporal assessment of food quantity of their habitats is necessary. Therefore, sufficient data on traits of floral resources are required.</p> <p><strong>New information</strong></p> <p>Because floral resources' traits of plants are important to quantify food availability, we present two databases, the FloRes Database (Floral Resources Database) and the raw database, where FloRes was derived from. Both databases contain the plant traits (1) flowering period, (2) floral-unit density per day, (3) nectar volume per floral unit per day, (4) sugar content per floral unit, (5) sugar concentration in nectar, (6) pollen mass or volume per floral unit and per day, (7) protein content of pollen and (8) corolla depth. All traits are sampled from literature and online databases. The raw database consists of 702 specified plant species, 138 unspecified species 37 species (spec., sp), 22 species <em>pluralis </em>(spp) and for 79 only the genus was identified) and two species complexes (agg.). Those 842 taxa belong to 488 genera and 102 families. Finally, only 27 taxa have a complete set of traits, too less for a sufficient assessment of spatio-temporal availability of floral food resources.</p> <p>Because information of floral resources is scattered throughout many publications with different units, we also present our multistep workflow implemented in five consecutive R-scripts. The multistep workflow standardizes the trait units of the raw database to comparable entities with identical units and aggregates them on a reasonable taxonomic level into the second application database, the FloRes Database. Finally, the FloRes Database contains aggregated information of traits for 42 taxa and, when corolla depth is excluded, for 70 taxa.</p> <p>This is the first attempt to gather these eight traits from different literature sources in one database with a multistep workflow. The publication of the multistep workflow enables the users to extend the FloRes Database on their own demands with other literature data or newly gathered data to improve the quantification of food resources. Especially, the combination of pollen, nectar, and open flowers per square meter is, as far as we know, a novelty.</p> <p>The FloRes Database can be used to evaluate the quantity of food-resource habitats available for pollinators, e.g., to compare seed mixtures of agri-environmental measures, such as flower strips, considering flower phenology on a daily basis.</p>

LT-Brazil: A database of leaf traits across biomes and vegetation types in Brazil

<p><span>Motivation: Leaf traits represent an important component of plant functional strategies, and those related to carbon fixation and nutrient acquisition form the leaf economics spectrum. However, observations of functional leaf traits are underrepresented in tropical regions in comparison with those in temperate areas. Brazil, a country with continental scale and vast biodiversity is a timely example, where many biomes are impacted by human activities and climate change. However, leaf traits relevant to understand vegetation responses to these impacts remain poorly quantified for many species found in the country. We compiled an extensive data set of four functional leaf traits for native woody species occurring in the Brazilian territory. In addition to trait observations, sampling dates and geo-references were compiled and climatic parameters and soil properties of each sampling site were extracted from several databases.</span></p> <p><span>Main types of variables contained: The LT-Brazil data set contains 3479, 1216, 775, and 775 clean observations of leaf mass per area, leaf nitrogen (N) concentration per unit mass, leaf phosphorus (P) concentration per unit mass, and leaf N : P ratio, respectively, from native woody species, encompassing information of biome, vegetation, taxonomic data, geographical coordinates, climatic parameters, as well as soil properties.</span></p> <p><span>Spatial location and grain: We compiled trait observations from 223 sites under native vegetation distributed in all main biomes (i.e., Amazônia, Caatinga, Cerrado, Mata Atlântica, Pampa, and Pantanal) across the Brazilian territory.</span></p> <p><span>Time period and grain: The data represent information published and/or sampled during the last 25 years.</span></p> <p><span>Major taxa and level of measurement: Our compilation was focused on trait data observed for native woody species, excluding monocots, palm trees, herbs, and hemiparasitic plants. Thus, 108, 478, and 1321 botanical families, genera, and species were included, covering <em>c.</em> 9% of the woody angiosperm flora of Brazil.</span></p> <p>Software format: Data are provided as comma-separated value (.csv) files.</p>

Data from: PalmTraits 1.0, a species-level functional trait database for palms worldwide

Plant traits are critical to plant form and function —including growth, survival and reproduction— and therefore shape fundamental aspects of population and ecosystem dynamics as well as ecosystem services. Here, we present a global species-level compilation of key functional traits for palms (Arecaceae), a plant family with keystone importance in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. We derived measurements of essential functional traits for all (&gt;2500) palm species from key sources such as monographs, books, other scientific publications, as well as herbarium collections. This includes traits related to growth form, stems, armature, leaves and fruits. Although many species are still lacking trait information, the standardized and global coverage of the data set will be important for supporting future studies in tropical ecology, rainforest evolution, paleoecology, biogeography, macroecology, macroevolution, global change biology and conservation. Potential uses are comparative eco-evolutionary studies, ecological research on community dynamics, plant-animal interactions and ecosystem functioning, studies on plant-based ecosystem services, as well as conservation science concerned with the loss and restoration of functional diversity in a changing world.
