Koutsidi_Moukas_Tzanatos_21_traits_by_235_species.xls

This file contains traits data for 235 Mediterranean
fisheries resource species. There are data on 21 traits; the data are presented
in a continuous or a categorical form (in the latter case, for each trait 2-6
trait categories/modalities exist and each species can only belong to one
modality per trait).

The excel file has 5 worksheets:

(1) continuous_traits_235_species: This worksheet contains
information on the continuous traits (longevity, age-at-maturity, fecundity,
maximum length, trophic level, depth, optimal temperature). For traits of the
range type (e.g. depth) minimum and maximum values as well as the mean value
are provided.

(2) complete_21_traits_205_species: This worksheet is a
presence/absence (1/0) matrix of 205 species by 75 traits categories (or
modalities). Only the species with complete information (205 species) on all 21
traits are presented.

(3) incomplete_21_traits_235_species: This worksheet is a
presence/absence (1/0) matrix of 205 species by 75 traits categories (or
modalities). All species, even with incomplete information (235 species) on all
21 traits are presented.

(4) reference_codes_per_trait: This worksheet is a matrix of
the 235 species by 21 traits with one or more numbers representing a reference
from which the information to fill in the trait information (shown in the
previous worksheets) was taken.

(5) reference_list: This worksheet is a list of reference
numbers and the corresponding full references.
