Data for "Bootstrapping outperforms community-weighted approaches for estimating the shapes of phenotypic distributions"

This repository contains datasets used in the manuscript entitled "Bootstrapping outperforms community-weighted approaches for estimating the shapes of phenotypic distributions" by Maitner et al.  For details of these datasets, see https://www.authorea.com/users/244803/articles/523535-on-estimating-the-shape-and-dynamics-of-phenotypic-distributions-in-ecology-and-evolution. All datasets contain individual (and in some cases, organ-level) trait measurements.

The dataset "all_traits_unscaled_RMBL.rds" was compiled by  Christine Lamanna, Lindsey L Sloat, Andrew J. Kerkhoff, and Brian J. Enquist, Full details in https://www.authorea.com/users/244803/articles/523535-on-estimating-the-shape-and-dynamics-of-phenotypic-distributions-in-ecology-and-evolution
