Population biology data in structured form.

Region (Attribute)

A geographic area in which a population occurs.

A controlled vocabulary is recommended.

Type: NormalString


AbundanceData

The relative representation of a species population in relation to other species or multiple species in a particular territory.

Type: DetailType

DensityData

Population size in relation to a defined space unit.

Type: DetailType

PatternDistribution

The spatial arrangement of the individuals of a population in the territory it occupies.

A controlled vocabulary is recommended.

e.g. Clumped, Uniform and Random.

Type: DetailType

PopulationTrend

Changes of a population over time and can include changes in distribution, biogeography (e.g., size of population), life-history (e.g., birth and death rates), etc.

A controlled vocabulary is recommended.

e.g: Stable, Increasing and Decreasing.

Type: DetailType

Recruitment

Information on the process by which young individuals (e.g., seedlings, larvae, propagules) become part of the adult population. It can be rate, scale, a description, etc.
