Search by property
This page provides a simple browsing interface for finding entities described by a property and a named value. Other available search interfaces include the page property search, and the ask query builder.
List of results
- Traits:Abundance + (Abundance and population trends of species populations have been recorded where this information was available.)
- Traits:SearcherForager + (Active foragers that seek out prey usually of lower mobility (than themselves) e.g. arthropods (crabs, spiders) gastropods, starfish)
- Traits:Nekton + (Active swimming organisms that live in the water column and are able to move independently of the water mass (adapted from Lincoln <i>et al.</i>, 1998).)
- Traits:AgeAtMaturity + (Age recorded in days, months, years.)
- Traits:Aquaculture: deliberate + (Alien and potentially invasive species that have been intentionally introduced for aquaculture.)
- Traits:Aquaculture: accidental + (Alien and potentially invasive species that have accidentally escaped from containment/ aquaculture facility into the wild.)
- Traits:Pouncing + (An ambush predator that uses a sudden, rapid movement to 'pounce on, grab or swallow' its prey once the prey in within short range.)
- Traits:Epifaunal + (An animal living on the surface of the substratum.)
- Traits:Symbiotic + (An association between two organisms. The term may bused to describe all associations between organisms of the same or different species. It is usually reserved for associations that are mutually beneficial (adapted from Lincoln ''et al.'', 1998))
- Traits:BiogenicReef + (An elevated structure on the seabed built by calcareous or other concretion-forming organisms, or by chemical precipitation (Hiscock, 1996); for example by ''Modiolus modiolus'' or ''Sabellaria alveolata'')
- Traits:OvalCylinder + (An ellipsoid on an elliptic base (Olenina ''et al.'', 2006))
- Traits:Larva + (An independent, motile, developmental stag … An independent, motile, developmental stage of an organism, that differs in morphology and ecology from the juvenile or adult stage, and undergoes a metamorphosis to become the juvenile or adult (adapted from Ruppert & Barnes, 1994; Barnes <em>et al.</em>, 2006).; Barnes, 1994; Barnes <em>et al.</em>, 2006).)
- 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.)
