A \"trait\" for the purposes of this package is broadly defined as an aspect of a species that can be described or measured, such as physical traits (size, length, height, color), behavioral traits (running speed, etc.), and even variables that make up the niche of the species (e.g., habitat).\n\nIncluded in `traits` with the associated function prefix or function name:\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"text-align:left;\"/\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"text-align:left;\"/\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"text-align:left;\"/\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"text-align:left;\"/\u003e\n\u003c/colgroup\u003e\n\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eSouce\u003c/th\u003e\n  \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eFunction prefix\u003c/th\u003e\n  \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eLink\u003c/th\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/thead\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBETYdb\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003ebetydb_\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003ehttps://www.betydb.org/\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eNCBI\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003encbi_\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003ehttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eEncylopedia of Life\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003etraitbank_\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\n\n\u003chttps://github.com/EOL/publishing/blob/master/doc/api.md\u003e\n\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eBirdlife International\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003ebirdlife_\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003ehttps://www.birdlife.org/\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eLEDA Traitbase\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003eleda_\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eZanne et al. plant dataset\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003etr_zanne\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003eAmniote life history dataset\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003ccode\u003etr_ernest\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\n\u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/tbody\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n\nTalk to us on the issues page (https://github.com/ropensci/traits/issues) if you know of a source of traits data with an API, and we'll see about including it.\n\n## Installation\n\nStable R-Universe version\n\n```{r eval=FALSE}\ninstall.packages(\"traits\", repos = c('https://ropensci.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))\n```\n\n_Note: traits has been removed from CRAN pending https://github.com/ropensci/taxize/issues/938_\n\nOr development version from GitHub\n\n```{r eval=FALSE}\ninstall.packages(\"traits\", repos = c('https://ropensci.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org')) \nremotes::install_github(\"ropensci/traits\")\n```\n\n```{r}\nlibrary(\"traits\")\nlibrary(\"dplyr\")\n```\n\n## Contributors\n\n* [Scott Chamberlain](https://github.com/sckott)\n* [Zachary Foster](https://github.com/zachary-foster)\n* [Ignasi Bartomeus](https://github.com/ibartomeus)\n* [David LeBauer](https://github.com/dlebauer)\n* [David Harris](https://github.com/davharris)\n* [Chris Black](https://github.com/infotroph)\n* [Rupert Collins](https://github.com/boopsboops)\n\n## Meta\n\n* Please [report any issues or bugs](https://github.com/ropensci/traits/issues).\n* License: MIT\n* Get citation information for `traits` in R doing `citation(package = 'traits')`\n* Please note that this package is released with a [Contributor Code of Conduct](https://ropensci.org/code-of-conduct/).
