21 traits by 86 species in eastern Ionian fisheries

<p>This file contains traits data for 86 species appearing in the catches of the multi-species fisheries in the eastern Ionian Sea. There are data on 21 traits; for each trait, 2-6 trait categories/modalities exist and each species can only belong to one modality per trait.</p> <p>The excel file has 3 worksheets:</p> <p>(1) The first worksheet is a presence/absence (1/0) matrix of 86 species by 73 traits categories (or modalities).</p> <p>(2) The second worksheet is a matrix of the same 86 species by 21 traits with one or more numbers representing a reference.</p> <p>(3) The third worksheet is a list of reference numbers and the corresponding references.</p> <p> </p

Koutsidi_Moukas_Tzanatos_21_traits_by_235_species.xls

<p>This file contains traits data for 235 Mediterranean fisheries resource species. There are data on 21 traits; the data are presented in a continuous or a categorical form (in the latter case, for each trait 2-6 trait categories/modalities exist and each species can only belong to one modality per trait).</p> <p> </p> <p>The excel file has 5 worksheets:</p> <p> </p> <p>(1) <b>continuous_traits_235_species</b>: This worksheet contains information on the continuous traits (longevity, age-at-maturity, fecundity, maximum length, trophic level, depth, optimal temperature). For traits of the range type (e.g. depth) minimum and maximum values as well as the mean value are provided.</p> <p> </p> <p>(2) <b>complete_21_traits_205_species</b>: This worksheet is a presence/absence (1/0) matrix of 205 species by 75 traits categories (or modalities). Only the species with complete information (205 species) on all 21 traits are presented.</p> <p> </p> <p>(3) <b>incomplete_21_traits_235_species</b>: This worksheet is a presence/absence (1/0) matrix of 205 species by 75 traits categories (or modalities). All species, even with incomplete information (235 species) on all 21 traits are presented.</p> <p> </p> <p>(4) <b>reference_codes_per_trait</b>: This worksheet is a matrix of the 235 species by 21 traits with one or more numbers representing a reference from which the information to fill in the trait information (shown in the previous worksheets) was taken.</p> <p> </p> <p>(5) <b>reference_list</b>: This worksheet is a list of reference numbers and the corresponding full references.</p
