功能性状为进化生物学、生态学和生态系统科学的理论发展和检验提供了丰富的定量框架。然而，只有当物种水平的信息完整时，功能性状推动理论进步和完善全球变化模型的潜力才能完全实现。在这里，我们提出了AVONET数据集包含全面的功能性状数据的所有鸟类，包括6个生态变量，11个连续的形态特征，范围大小和位置的信息。原始形态测量来自181个国家的11，009种现存鸟类的90，020个个体。这些数据也被总结为三种分类格式的物种平均值，允许与全球物种发生学，地理范围图，IUCN红色名录数据和eBird公民科学数据库整合。AVONET数据集为生物体的任何主要辐射提供了最详细的连续性状变异图片，为测试假设和探索生物多样性的进化起源，结构和功能提供了全球模板。
Functional traits offer a rich quantitative framework for developing and testing theories in evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystem science. However, the potential of functional traits to drive theoretical advances and refine models of global change can only be fully realised when species-level information is complete. Here we present the AVONET dataset containing comprehensive functional trait data for all birds, including six ecological variables, 11 continuous morphological traits, and information on range size and location. Raw morphological measurements are presented from 90,020 individuals of 11,009 extant bird species sampled from 181 countries. These data are also summarised as species averages in three taxonomic formats, allowing integration with a global phylogeny, geographical range maps, IUCN Red List data and the eBird citizen science database. The AVONET dataset provides the most detailed picture of continuous trait variation for any major radiation of organisms, offering a global template for testing hypotheses and exploring the evolutionary origins, structure and functioning of biodiversity.
