Pollination syndrome trait scoring and NMDS ordination

Local Knowledge Graph (12 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on Pollination syndrome trait scoring and NMDS ordination with 12 nodes and 22 connections. Top connected: A global test of the pollination syndrome hypothes, pollinator foraging behavior, pollinator observation, phylogenetic signal, multidimensional phenospace.

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
