Tamme, Riin Götzenberger, Lars Zobel, Martin M. Bullock, James Hooftman, Danny A. P. Kaasik, Ants Pärtel, Meelis Supplement 1. Data about seed dispersal distances and related traits for 576 plant species used in the analyses, and references for data sources. <h2>File List</h2><div> <p><a href="DispersalDistanceData.csv">DispersalDistanceData.csv</a> (Md5: 9f51b823e51b7570a42a832bed1fbf07)</p> </div><h2>Description</h2><div> <p>DispersalDistanceData.csv – Data about seed dispersal distances and related traits for 576 plant species. For some species dispersal distance data is available for different dispersal syndromes and thus 600 data points are included. Missing values are denoted by empty cells. 601 rows (with headers), 22 columns, separator "," , decimal ".".</p> <p>Columns are as follows:</p> <blockquote> <p><b>Species</b>: accepted binomial name (without authorship) of a species, validated using Taxonstand (Cayuela et al. 2012) library </p> <p><b>Original</b>: binomial name of a species in a referenced study if different from accepted binomial name</p> <p><b>Genus</b>: taxonomic genus of a species</p> <p><b>Family</b>: taxonomic family of a species, obtained using Taxonstand (Cayuela et al. 2012) library</p> <p><b>Order</b>: taxonomic order of a species, following APG III for angiosperms (The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group 2009) and Christenhuzs and others (2011) for gymnosperms</p> <p><b>Dispersal_syndrome</b>: species’ dispersal syndrome corresponding to the dispersal distance data, derived from the referenced study, categories include ‘animal’, ‘ant’, ‘ballistic’, ‘wind (none)’, ‘wind (special)’</p> <p><b>Growth_form</b>: growth form data derived from the referenced study or databases LEDA (Kleyer et al. 2008) and PLANTS (USDA and NRCS 2011), categories include ‘herb’, ‘shrub’, ‘tree’</p> <p><b>Seed_weight_(mg)</b>: seed mass (mg) data derived from the referenced study or Seed Information Database (Royal Botanic Gardens Kew 2008)</p> <p><b>Seed_release_height_(m)</b>: seed releasing height (m) data derived from the referenced study or LEDA (Kleyer et al. 2008) database</p> <p><b>Seed_terminal_velocity_(m/s)</b>: seed terminal velocity (m/s) data derived from the referenced study or LEDA (Kleyer et al. 2008) database</p> <p><b>Maximum_recorded_dispersal_distance_(m)</b>: species’ maximum dispersal distance (m) found in the literature corresponding to a specific dispersal syndrome</p> <p><b>99th_percentile_dispersal_distance_(m)</b>: 99th percentile of a species’ dispersal distance distribution (m) corresponding to a specific dispersal syndrome</p> <p><b>90th_percentile_dispersal_distance_(m)</b>: 90th percentile of a species’ dispersal distance distribution (m) corresponding to a specific dispersal syndrome</p> <p><b>Mean_dispersal_distance_(m)</b>: species’ mean dispersal distance (m) corresponding to a specific dispersal syndrome<b> </b></p> <p><b>Mode_dispersal_distance_(m)</b>: mode of a species’ dispersal distance distribution (m) corresponding to a specific dispersal syndrome</p> <p><b>Median_dispersal_distance_(m)</b>: median of a species’ dispersal distance distribution (m) corresponding to a specific dispersal syndrome</p> <p><b>Maximum_dispersal_distance_(m)</b>: equals to maximum_recorded_dispersal_distance_(m) if given, otherwise equals to 99th_percentile_dispersal_distance_(m) or 90th_percentile_dispersal_distance_(m)</p> <p><b>Calculated_maximum_dispersal_distance_(m)</b>: when no maximum dispersal distance data was available, we estimated maximum dispersal distance using the formula log10(maximum) = 0.795 + 0.984 * log10(mean); if mean dispersal distance was not available, we used the mode or median of a species’ dispersal distance distribution </p> <p><b>Maximum_dispersal_distance_analysis_(m)</b>: data used in the analyses, equals to Maximum_dispersal_distance_(m) or (if maximum was not available) to Calculated_maximum_dispersal_distance_(m)</p> <p><b>Data_type</b>: denotes whether data source was an observational (‘field’) or modeling (‘model’) study</p> <p><b>Region</b>: region of the case study, categories include ‘temperate’ or ‘tropics’</p> <p><b>Reference</b>: reference for a data source</p> </blockquote> <p> </p> </div> seed release height;dispersal syndrome;traits;seed mass;taxonomy;mixed-effects model;predictive model;terminal velocity;migration;growth form;Environmental Science;Ecology 2016-08-10
