EuDiS - A comprehensive database of the seed dispersal syndromes of the European flora

See detailed description in: Vargas, Heleno & Costa (submitted) EuDiS - A comprehensive database of the seed dispersal syndromes of the European flora Table structure: Species_Flora_Europaea: binomial from Flora Europaea Species_POWO: binomial currently (as of 2022) accepted according to Plants of the World Online (https://powo.science.kew.org). Family: botanical family of the respective species according to POWO. Endozoochorous: coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate internal dispersal by animals; coded as “0” otherwise. Epizoochorous: coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate external dispersal by animals; coded as “0” otherwise. Thalassochorous: coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate dispersal by transport on salt water; coded as “0” otherwise. Anemochorous: coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate dispersal by wind; coded as “0” otherwise. Myrmecochorous: coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate external dispersal by ants; coded as “0” otherwise. Vertebrate_hoarding: coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate dispersal by seed hoarding animals; coded as “0” otherwise. Freshwater Hydrochorous: coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate dispersal by fresh water; coded as “0” otherwise. Ballochorous: coded as “1” when the species has traits that facilitate the dispersal by explosive mechanisms; coded as “0” otherwise. Further_clarification_needed: marks specific syndromes whose classification is still doubtful or based on incomplete information and thus warrant further work: END: endozoochorous, EPI: epizoochorous, THA: thalassochorous, ANE: anemochorous, HYD: freshwater hydrochorous, MYR: myrmecochorous, BAL: ballochorous. Tree_or_shrub: coded as “1” when the species is a tree or a woody shrub; coded as “0” otherwise (herbaceous plants, climbers, and suffruticose chamaephytes). Synonyms: binomials that were considered independent species in the volumes of Flora Europaea but are currently considered synonyms of the binomials listed in the field “Species_POWO” References: sources used to code the syndromes.
