| PhenObs | Robert Rauschkolb | A data base for phenological records of vascular, herbaceous plant species collected in botanical gardens including 11 phenological stages (“Initial growth”, “Onset of leaf unfolding”, “Onset of flowering”, “Peak of flowering”, “End of flowering”, “Flowering duration”, “Onset of fruiting”, “End of fruiting”, “Onset of senescence”, “Peak of senescence”, “End of senescence”). | 11 vegetative and reproductive phenological stages covering the seasonal life cycle of herbaceous species | 362+ plant taxa, standardized based on The Leipzig Catalogue of Vascular Plants | under construction | under construction |
| UCIMLR-Iris | Daniel Mietchen | 50 datapoints each for four flower traits (sepal length in cm, sepal width in cm, petal length in cm and petal width in cm) in three Iris species (Iris setosa, Iris versicolor, Iris virginica). This dataset is famous enough to have Wikipedia articles about it in 12 languages as well as a range of public versions and mirror copies, including via the default distributions of RStudio or the Python library pandas. The UCI-MLR version listed here corrects some of the statistical mistakes found in the original work by Fisher 1936, yet it introduces a spelling error in the name of Iris versicolor. | sepal length in cm / sepal width in cm / petal length in cm / petal width in cm | Iris setosa / Iris versicolor / Iris virginica | under construction | under construction |

| Ecotaxonomy | Anton Potapov / Dorothee Sandmann / Stefan Scheu | Ecotaxonomy (ecotaxonomy.org), is an open web platform, that allows traits, taxa, individuals and samples to be linked within research projects. Any morphological or ecological traits can be customized inside the system and attached either to taxa, individuals, or environmental samples. The system is flexible to include any group of organisms. The taxonomic system of Ecotaxonomy is based on the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (gbif.org), but may be complemented by morphospecies, pictures, literature and other parameters. As public output, the system provides interactive identification keys and web catalogs of traits and taxa. | Multiple morphological and ecological traits | Multiple groups of organisms (focused on Arthropoda) | under construction | under construction |

| Bacterial and archaeal phenotypic trait database | Joshua Madin | A synthesis of phenotypic and quantitative genomic traits is provided for bacteria and archaea, in the form of a scripted, reproducible workflow that standardizes and merges 26 sources. The resulting unified dataset covers 14 phenotypic traits, 5 quantitative genomic traits, and 4 environmental characteristics for approximately 170,000 strain-level and 15,000 species-aggregated records. It spans all habitats including soils, marine and fresh waters and sediments, host-associated and thermal. Trait data can find use in clarifying major dimensions of ecological strategy variation across species. They can also be used in conjunction with species and abundance sampling to characterize trait mixtures in communities and responses of traits along environmental gradients. | 14 phenotypic traits, 5 quantitative genomic traits, and 4 environmental characteristics | Approximately 170,000 strains and 15,000 species | under construction | under construction |
