摘要

无脊椎动物经常被用作生态系统健康的指标。在群落生态学中,利用生物体特征(如行为、生物或生态学)对影响诊断和组合预测可能具有价值。人们还认识到,某些特征与生态系统功能有关,它们在生物监测中的应用为生态系统对压力源的功能反应提供了见解。然而,缺乏南部非洲无脊椎动物的特征信息和当地特征数据库阻碍了使用这种方法进行生物监测的进展。为了解决这一关键差距,我们为南部非洲淡水无脊椎动物编制了一个可更新的特征数据库。该数据库包含关于40个特征类别和204个特征属性/模式的信息。在数据库中包括的40个特征类别中,12个是生物学特征,12个为行为特征,16个为生态偏好特征。数据库的设计是为了适应分类的灵活性。在这方面,性状信息是在多个分类级别输入的:科、属和物种,使研究人员能够以不同的分类分辨率检索相关信息。尽管数据库中仍有空白,但这项工作代表着首次尝试综合南部非洲淡水无脊椎动物的可用特征信息。

A trait database for southern African freshwater invertebrates
Invertebrates are often used as indicators of ecosystem health. In community ecology, the use of organism traits (e.g. behavioural, biological or ecological) can be of value in relation to impact diagnosis and assemblage prediction. It has also been recognised that certain traits are related to ecosystem function, and their use in biological monitoring provide insights into ecosystem functional responses to stressors. However, the paucity of trait information and non-availability of a local trait database for southern African invertebrates impede progress in using this approach for biological monitoring. To address this critical gap, we compiled an updateable trait database for southern African freshwater invertebrates. The database contains information on 40 trait categories and 204 trait attribute/modalities. Of the 40 trait categories included in the database, 12 are biological, 12 are behavioural, and 16 are ecological preferences. The database is designed to accommodate taxonomic flexibility. In this regard, trait information is entered at multiple taxonomic levels: family, genus, and species, allowing researchers working at different taxonomic resolutions to retrieve relevant information. While there are still gaps in the database, this effort represents the first attempt to synthesise available trait information on southern African freshwater invertebrates.
