Growth form

ID: 206

Class: Morphological

Description:

The growth form of a coral colony measured in the field or during an experiment. The range of growth form categories is not constrained (i.e., growth forms should be named as they were in the original resource or dataset), and therefore the number of categories will become large.

Standards:

• Category (cat) default

Methodologies:

• Derived from photographs of live colonies
• Derived from photographs of specimens
• Derived from textual description
• Examination of collected specimens
• Extracted from data table
• Extracted from tabular key
• Identification key
• Image analysis
• inferred
• observation_field
• Species-specific value inherited from family level
• Species-specific value inherited from genus level
• Textual description in identification guide
• Trait value coded using a compilation of data from previous works
• Trait value derived from DORIS online identification guide, based on expert opinions
• Trait value derived from Fabricius and Alderslade (2001)
• Trait value derived from Picton, B.E. & Morrow, C.C. (2016) online identification guide
