Phenotypic Rates of Change Evolutionary and Ecological Database

Phenotypic Rates of Change Evolutionary and Ecological Database (PROCEED) is an ongoing compilation of rates of phenotypic change, typically Haldanes and Darwins, published in peer-reviewed manuscripts. This database includes studies that measure the intraspecific change in quantitative (continuous or counting) traits and report the time elapsed from the onset of environmental novelty or refer to a historical or biological event reported in other sources (e.g., a mine opening, a well-documented biological invasion). The maximum elapsed time between the environmental change and the sampling was no longer than 500 years. The included studies followed a single population through time or compared two or more populations, diverging from an originally single population where (at least) one of them was a new condition of known age. About two decades ago, a database of phenotypic rates of change in wild populations was compiled. Since then, researchers have used (and expanded) this database to examine phenotypic responses to specific types of disturbance and according to different features of the species/systems. We compile and add data regularly to the dataset. This dataset is continually being updated as more people ask it to include new variables.

表型变化速率演化与生态数据库（Phenotypic Rates of Change Evolutionary and Ecological Database，PROCEED）是一份持续更新的表型变化速率汇编数据集，相关速率通常以霍尔丹（Haldanes）与达尔文（Darwins）为单位，所有数据均来自经同行评审的学术论文。本数据库收录的研究均针对定量性状（连续型或计数型）的种内变化展开测量，且要么记录了环境新扰动发生至采样的间隔时长，要么引用其他文献记载的历史事件或生物学事件（如矿山投产、记录详实的生物入侵事件）作为时间参照。环境变化与采样之间的最大间隔时长不超过500年。纳入本数据库的研究要么对单一种群进行长期时间序列追踪，要么对两个及以上源自同一祖先种群的种群开展比较分析，且其中至少一个种群处于已知年代的全新环境条件下。约二十年前，学界曾汇编过一份野生种群表型变化速率数据库。自彼时起，研究者已借助并拓展该数据库，针对特定扰动类型探究野生种群的表型响应，并依据物种类群与生态系统的不同特征开展相关分析。本团队将定期对本数据集进行数据汇编与增补。随着更多用户提出新增变量的需求，该数据集将持续得到更新完善。
