List of results
- Traits:Flexibility + (An indication of how far an organism can bend/flex without breaking or suffering damage - High (>45°) / Low (10 – 45°) / None (<10°))
- Traits:FlyerFlight + (An organism able to propel itself though the air e.g. using wings, such as winged insects, birds)
- Traits:Parasitoid + (An organism intermediate between a parasite and a predator; e.g. hymenopterans where the larvae feed within the tissue of a living host, leading to the death of the host (adapted from Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998).)
- Traits:TemporaryAttachment + (An organism that can temporarily attach to a substratum but is able to release its attachment, and move across (or through) it (i.e. sedentary) (e.g. ''Actinia'').)
- Traits:PursuitHunterIndividual + (An organism that chases after, catches and subdues mobile prey (e.g. predatory polychaetes, squid, fish, otter, seal, seabirds))
- Traits:BurrowBuilder + (An organism that constructs permanent or semi-permanent burrows through physical excavation or chemical action.)
- Traits:Aggregations + (An organism that constructs reefs and raised beds due to aggregation of large numbers of individuals via permanent or semi-permanent attachment e.g. mussels, oysters and ''Crepidula'' beds.)
- Traits:Calcareous + (An organism that constructs reefs or biogenic structures composed of the calcareous skeletons of individuals or colonies (e.g. corals))
- Traits:Accretion + (An organism that constructs reefs or raised beds of accreted materials, e.g. bound sand in ''Sabellaria'' spp.)
- Traits:Mixotroph + (An organism that exhibts both autotrophy and heterotrophy)
- Traits:Carnivore + (An organism that feeds on animal tissue/meat.)
- Traits:Scavenger + (An organism that feeds on carrion and organic refuse (e.g. crabs, whelks) (Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998).)
- Traits:Saprophage + (An organism that feeds on dead or decaying organic material (see Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998).)
- Traits:Detritivore + (An organism that feeds on fragmented particulate organic matter (detritus) (Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998).)
- Traits:SubsurfaceDepositFeeder + (An organism that feeds on fragmented particulate organic matter within the substratum (e.g. ''Echinocardium cordatum'') (adapted from Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998).)
- Traits:SurfaceDepositFeeder + (An organism that feeds on fragmented particulate organic matter on the surface of the substratum (e.g. ''Corophium volutator'') (adapted from Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998).)
- Traits:DepositFeeder + (An organism that feeds on fragmented particulate organic matter within or on the substratum (adapted from Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998).)
- Traits:ForestForming + (An organism that forms a large area of close individuals forming a canopy (e.g. trees, large kelps).)
- Traits:ReefBuilding + (An organism that forms large areas of hard substratum for other organisms due to the scale of its aggregations (e.g. horse mussels), accretions (e.g. ''Sabellaria'') or its skeleton (e.g. corals).)
- Traits:PursuitHunterCooperative + (An organism that hunts in a team, pack, pod, flock, swarm etc)
