PLECHAR – Morphological and anatomical character information for 661 pleurocarpous mosses for use in evolutionary and ecological studies
https://doi.org/10.5878/8kfr-1w38
The data file PLECHAR.xlsx (Excel) includes four sheets
• SPECIES AND CHARACTER STATES, with the data.
• STUDIED SPECIMENS, specifying which specimens were studied.
• CITED LITERATURE, listing the literature cited in the PLECHAR.xlsx file itself.
• CHARACTER EXPLANATIONS – READ!, with information about characters that are not self-explanatory.
The data (SPECIES AND CHARACTER STATES) includes morphological and anatomical character information for 661 pleurocarpous moss taxa, mostly at the species level, described under 106 headings. I compiled the morphological and anatomical character data for pleurocarpous mosses mainly from studies where I scored the character information myself. Information about which studies this is based on is included in the README file. A few additions were made from the literature, as indicated in the sheet CITED LITERATURE in the data file. Since I scored almost all information myself, any observational bias should be approximately the same throughout the data and the information on a particular character should be comparable between taxa.
