Pre‐adaptation and adaptation shape trait‐environment matching in the Neotropics

The resources provided here comprise raw and final data sets used in our study 'Preadaptation and adaptation shape trait-environment matching in the Neotropics' (DOI: 10.1111/geb.13730) comprising curated geographic occurrences for 156 Swartzia taxa across its distribution in the Neotropics, phylogenetic information for 69 Swartzia taxa, and corresponding climatic (i.e. 19 climatic variables taken from WorldClim), soil (i.e. sand, nitrogen, and clay content taken from the SoilGrids 2.0 portal), and trait data for each taxa (i.e. trait measurements for lefleats, petals, and fruits). We also provide the script used to extract trait information from botanical monographs., The data-sets were collected using various methods. Trait data include measurements taken from the literature for leaflets, fruits, and petals, mainly from the works of Cowan (1967), and Torke and Mansano (2011) (but see detailed references provided in the corresponding supplementary files). Additional data for leaflets and fruits were obtained from herbarium specimens as described in the paper (see also the herbarium references provided in the corresponding supplementary files ). Data for nuclear and plastid DNA sequences were obtained from the study of Torke and Schall (2008). Phylogenetic trees were generated using BEAST2 (Bouckaert et al. 2014) , as described in the paper (see Methods). Data on occurrences were obtained from herbarium sources and curated posteriorly. For the occurrence dataset, we extracted climate data from WorldClim 2 (Fick & Hijmans 2017) and soil data from SoilGrids 2.0 (Poggio et al. 2021). See detailed information for each supplementary file provided in th..., The BEAST .xml file can be run using the software BEAST 2 – 'bayesian evolutionary analysis by sampling trees 2'  (Bouckaert et al. 2014).
All phylogenetic trees can be loaded and visualized in the R platform using packages for handling phylogenetic data (i.e. 'ape'). Alternatively trees can be visualized using  the software 'Figtree v. 1.4.4.' (Rambaut A. 2010).
Occurrence, trait and climatic data can be loaded and opened in the R platform.
The script to extract trait data from monographs can be loaded and opened in the R platform. Stepwise instructions are provided as commented text in the script.
Note: NAs in the dataset denote missing data in traits or environmental data, which means that the corresponding value was not available from the literature or from the environmental databases.

Preadaptation and adaptation shape trait environment-matching in the Neotropics

### Abstract

The resources provided here comprise raw and final data sets used in our study 'Preadaptation and adaptation shape trait-environment matching in the Neotropics' (DOI: 10.1111/geb.13730) comprising curated geographic occurrences for 156 *Swartzia* taxa across its distribution in the Neotropics, phylogenetic information for 69 *Swartzia* taxa, and corresponding climatic (i.e. 19 climatic variables taken from WorldClim), soil (i.e. sand, nitrogen, and clay content taken from the SoilGrids 2.0 portal), and trait data for each taxa (i.e. trait measurements for lefleats, petals, and fruits). We also provide the script used to extract trait information from botanical monographs.
