- The bien r package: A tool to access the Botanical Information and Ecology Network (BIEN) database (2017, background): “…and services, plants have lacked comprehensive datasets similar to those of less-speciose clades such as birds and mammals, which have trait (Myhrvold et al., 2015), phylogenetic (Bininda-Emonds et al., 2007; Faurby & Svenning, 2015; Jetz, Thomas, Joy, Hartmann, & Mooers, 2012) and range…”
- Biases in the current knowledge of threat status in lizards, and bridging the ‘assessment gap’ (2016, positive): “For example,Myhrvold et al. (2015) recently compiled life history data for 21,322 amniote species.”
- AVONET: morphological, ecological and geographical data for all birds. (2022, background): “…prominent species-level trait datasets published for animals at a global scale— PanTHERIA (Jones et al., 2009), EltonTraits (Wilman et al., 2014) and the amniote database (Myhrvold et al., 2015)— have focused mainly on life history and ecological traits for the world's mammals, birds and reptiles.”
- Where do functional traits come from? The role of theory and models (2019, background): “Pioneering efforts have been focused on plant traits (e.g. Kattge et al., 2011), but databases for animals have followed closely behind (Bennett et al., 2018; Grimm et al., 2014; Madin et al., 2016; Marques et al., 2018; Myhrvold et al., 2015; Oliveira et al., 2017; Parr et al., 2016).”
- Global gaps in trait data for terrestrial vertebrates (2020, background): “There are now diverse sources of ecological traits for vertebrate groups (primates: Galán-Acedo et al.., 2019; mammals: “PanTHERIA”, Jones et al., 2009; amniotes: Myhrvold et al., 2015; amphibians: “AmphiBIO”, Oliveira et al., 2017).”
