性状数据是生态学研究许多方面的基础，特别是在模拟物种对环境变化的响应方面。我们综合了文献资料（主要是野外指南）和博物馆标本的直接测量数据，提供了一个包含26个属性的综合数据集，涵盖了43个在英国居住的蛇蜥物种。该数据库中包含的特征范围从形态特征（如体长）到基于物种分布的属性（如气候限制）。我们测量了每个物种的5个成年雄性和5个成年雌性的11个形态特征。使用数字卡尺，这些测量是从干燥的博物馆标本中采集的，这些标本都是野生捕获的个体。并采用重复测量来估计测量误差。性状数据存储在一个在线存储库（https://github.com/BiologicalRecordsCentre/Odonata_traits）中，与R代码一起设计用于提供形态测量数据的概述，并将形态测量数据组合为每个物种每个性状的单个值。
Abstract Trait data are fundamental for many aspects of ecological research, particularly for modeling species response to environmental change. We synthesised information from the literature (mainly field guides) and direct measurements from museum specimens, providing a comprehensive dataset of 26 attributes, covering the 43 resident species of Odonata in Britain. Traits included in this database range from morphological traits (e.g. body length) to attributes based on the distribution of the species (e.g. climatic restriction). We measured 11 morphometric traits from five adult males and five adult females per species. Using digital callipers, these measurements were taken from dry museum specimens, all of which were wild caught individuals. Repeated measures were also taken to estimate measurement error. The trait data are stored in an online repository (https://github.com/BiologicalRecordsCentre/Odonata_traits), alongside R code designed to give an overview of the morphometric data, and to combine the morphometric data to the single value per trait per species data.
