Type of skeleton

ID: 561

Class: Biomechanical

Description:

The type of skeleton present in a given octocoral species. Categories were selected based on McFadden et al. 2022

Standards:

• Category (cat) default

Methodologies:

• Derived from textual description
• Dissecting microscope
• Examination of collected specimens
• Extracted from data table
• Microscopy
• Species-specific value inherited from family level
• Species-specific value inherited from genus level
• Trait value derived from DORIS online identification guide, based on expert opinions
• Trait value derived from Fabricius and Alderslade (2001)
• X-radiography (densitometer)
