Pollination syndrome trait scoring and NMDS ordination

Local Knowledge Graph (12 entities)

Description

A method for quantifying floral trait combinations and comparing them to idealized pollination syndromes using multidimensional scaling in phenotype space. Plant species are scored for 41 binary traits and positioned relative to idealized syndrome clusters.

Typical Equipment

• PC-ORD 5.14 software

Output Measurements

• syndrome assignment
• distance to nearest syndrome
• phenotype space coordinates
