Article Synopsis
- - AVONET is a comprehensive dataset providing functional traits for all bird species, featuring data on ecological variables, morphological traits, and species' range sizes from over 90,000 individuals across 181 countries.
- - The dataset includes both raw measurements and summarized species averages in multiple taxonomic formats, enabling integration with phylogenies, geographical maps, and conservation status information.
- - AVONET aims to enhance research in evolutionary biology and ecology by offering detailed insights into biodiversity, facilitating the testing of theories and models related to global change.
Vocalization is one of the main behaviors of anurans (Köhler et al. 2017). Calls emitted by these animals display several social and ecological functions.

For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown.

- Scientists aim to uncover the reasons behind the Neotropical region's high bird diversity by examining factors like climate and human impact on morphological variation.
- The ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS dataset includes over 67,000 bird records spanning 711 species in South America’s Atlantic forests, covering up to 44 morphological traits collected over 200 years.
- This dataset, which is the most extensive of its kind in a biodiversity hotspot, supports both basic scientific research and practical conservation efforts.
