Add Collembola traits (Ellers et al. 2018)

Joins European springtail functional traits to a taxify() result by looking up accepted_name: vertical stratification, body size, reproduction mode and climatic preferences.

Usage

add_ellers_collembola(x, cols = NULL, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A data.frame returned by taxify().

cols

Which columns to attach: NULL (default) all, or a character vector of names. See enrichment_cols.

verbose

Logical. Default TRUE.

Value

The same data.frame with additional columns:

ellers_vertical_distribution

Vertical stratification (soil depth class).

ellers_body_size_mm

Body size (mm).

ellers_reproduction

Reproduction mode (sexual or asexual).

ellers_moisture_pref

Moisture preference.

ellers_temperature_pref

Temperature preference.

ellers_thermal_niche_breadth

Thermal niche breadth.

Details

Source: Collembola trait table from Ellers et al. (2018), Dryad, CC0. Coverage: 278 European Collembola species; taxonomy follows the Checklist of the Collembola of the World. The openly licensed analogue of the BETSI multi-trait matrices; its body size agrees with the BETSI body-length floor at Pearson r = 0.96 over 262 shared species. The body size is also available through add_trait()("body_length").
