description: ShareTrait consolidates individual-level trait data and associated metadata in an interoperable and reusable format, enabling standardised and integrated use. Currently, ShareTrait focusses on three core traits of ectotherms that are fundamental to an organism's overall fitness: metabolic rate, development time and fecundity. ShareTrait aims to streamline research efforts, minimise duplication of effort, and empower researchers to explore patterns and broader ecological, evolutionary and physiological questions among taxa.
