Ten key biological traits of marine benthic invertebrates surveyed in Northwest Europe
This dataset contains information on ten key biological traits (behavioural, morphological, and reproductive characteristics) for over a thousand marine benthic invertebrate taxa surveyed in Northwest Europe (mainly the UK shelf). Scores of 0 to 3 are provided to indicate the level of confidence that taxa exhibit each possible mode of trait expression (0 = no evidence, 3 = strong evidence).
