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

See detailed description in: Vargas, Heleno &amp; Costa (submitted) EuDiS - A comprehensive database of the seed dispersal syndromes of the European flora <br> Table structure: <strong>Species_Flora_Europaea: </strong>binomial from Flora Europaea <strong>Species_POWO: </strong>binomial currently (as of 2022) accepted according to Plants of the World Online (https://powo.science.kew.org). <strong>Family: </strong>botanical family of the respective species according to POWO. <strong>Endozoochorous: </strong>coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate internal dispersal by animals; coded as “0” otherwise. <strong>Epizoochorous: </strong>coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate external dispersal by animals; coded as “0” otherwise. <strong>Thalassochorous: </strong>coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate dispersal by transport on salt water; coded as “0” otherwise. <strong>Anemochorous: </strong>coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate dispersal by wind; coded as “0” otherwise. <strong>Myrmecochorous: </strong>coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate external dispersal by ants; coded as “0” otherwise. <strong>Vertebrate_hoarding: </strong>coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate dispersal by seed hoarding animals; coded as “0” otherwise. <strong>Freshwater Hydrochorous: </strong>coded as “1” when the species has diaspores with traits that facilitate dispersal by fresh water; coded as “0” otherwise. <strong>Ballochorous: </strong>coded as “1” when the species has traits that facilitate the dispersal by explosive mechanisms; coded as “0” otherwise. <strong>Further_clarification_needed: </strong>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. <strong>Synonyms: </strong>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” <strong>Tree_or_shrub: </strong>coded as “1” when the species is a tree or a woody shrub; coded as “0” otherwise (herbaceous plants, climbers, and suffruticose chamaephytes). <strong>References: </strong>sources used to code the syndromes (see References.csv file for a full reference list)
