Morphological dataset for study of morphospace structure of frog assemblages in the Western Hemisphere

Creator:

Larson, Joanna G and Weiner, Abraham

Description:

This dataset consists of 11 linear external morphological measurements from 1,614 adult frog individuals from 434 species that all naturally occur in the Western Hemisphere. We used these data to investigate patterns of multidimensional morphospace structure in frog assemblages along the latitudinal diversity gradient in the Americas. The measured traits are predictive of adult microhabitat use, diel activity patterns, locomotion, mating habitat, and diet.
