Biogeographical disparity in the functional diversity and redundancy of corals

Data used in the article entitled “Biogeographical disparity in the functional diversity and redundancy of corals” published in PNAS in March 2018. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1716643115traitbiogeography.csv : This file contains functional trait and biogeographical data merged primarily from the Coral Traits Database https://coraltraits.org/ and Keith et al. (2013) https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2013.0818. Rows represent 821 zooxanthellate coral species. Traits: Columns E to K (starting with “cat_”) indicate numerical categories for seven traits used for the analyses. Infilled trait data for four of these seven traits are in columns L to O (starting with “dat_”). Raw data for the same four traits are presented in columns P to S (starting with “raw_”). Column T represents a modified version of “growth_form_typical” from the Coral Traits Database. Column U to V represent raw and infilled “reproductive mode” values. Biogeographic provinces. Species used in Keith et al (2013) are presented in Column W, and species with updated nomenclature used for alignment with the Coral Traits Data are presented in column X. Columns Y through to AR are species presences-absences for 20 biogeographical provinces, 12 of which were analysed in the paper.
