Description
The Arthropod trait dataset contains data on life histories and ecological traits for more than 4000 northwestern European arthropod species. The data were compiled based on literature sources and expert knowledge. This dataset is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each species (in the Taxon Core) available data on body size, fecundity, development time, mean voltinism, lifespan, dispersal capacity and thermal niche (in the Measurements or Facts Extension), as well as maximum voltinism, overwintering stage, diurnality, feeding guild, trophic range and habitat preferences (in the Description Extension).
We have released this dataset to the public domain under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY-NC) implying that users of data make proper reference to this dataset, and/or refer to the published paper (DOI) describing the data.
Enregistrements de données
Les données de cette ressource checklist ont été publiées sous forme d'une Archive Darwin Core (Darwin Core Archive ou DwC-A), le format standard pour partager des données de biodiversité en tant qu'ensemble d'un ou plusieurs tableurs de données. Le tableur de données du cœur de standard (core) contient 4 874 enregistrements.
2 tableurs de données d'extension existent également. Un enregistrement d'extension fournit des informations supplémentaires sur un enregistrement du cœur de standard (core). Le nombre d'enregistrements dans chaque tableur de données d'extension est illustré ci-dessous.
Cet IPT archive les données et sert donc de dépôt de données. Les données et métadonnées de la ressource sont disponibles pour téléchargement dans la section téléchargements. Le tableau des versions liste les autres versions de chaque ressource rendues disponibles de façon publique et permet de tracer les modifications apportées à la ressource au fil du temps.

Méthodes d'échantillonnage
An extensive search for literature sources that describe life histories and/or ecological traits of ten different arthropod orders was conducted. The data were compiled in separate Excel sheets for each order. Later, this information was merged into a single dataset. 83 different literature sources were consulted, including scientific papers, books and websites. In the next step, several experts in certain taxonomic groups contributed personal data, measurements or expert judgements on their specific taxa to address noticeable gaps in the dataset. Additionally, realised thermal niche was estimated by overlaying species distribution data derived from GBIF with WorldClim data in QGIS.
| Etendue de l'étude | This dataset summarizes life histories, thermal niche and ecological traits for 4874 European arthropod species, aiming to construct a comprehensive dataset that could be incorporated in predictive models. With this dataset, we aim to facilitate the implementation of biological mechanisms in predictive models focused on arthropods, thereby enhancing our ability to forecast the impact of global change on these animals. |

Description des étapes de la méthode:
- An extensive search is conducted for literature sources that describe life history and/or ecology of arthropods. Data is compiled in separate Excel sheets for each arthropod order.
- Taxonomic experts are contacted and have addressed noticeable gaps in the dataset by providing personal data.
- Thermal niche data is calculated for each species by overlaying GBIF distribution data with WorldClim climate data in QGIS.
- The separate Excel sheets are merged in a single Excel sheet containing a single row of data per species. This is done by averaging continuous trait values or selecting the most inclusive categorical trait values for each species.
- The resulting Darwin Core data files are mainly created in R, uploaded to the IPT of the Belgian Biodiversity Platform and documented with metadata by Stijn Cooleman.
- The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
