This series of products displays the main functional types of benthic macroinvertebrates derived from a multivariate analysis of 13 life history traits. Several occurrence lists from EMODnet Biology were combined. A multivariate analysis of the life history traits revealed three main living modes. All final outcomes were interpolated by DIVAnd, the n-dimensional Data Interpolating Variational Analysis tool. more
The first living mode one comprises species resistant to physical stress in natural conditions through a strong mobility, a short life cycle and a high offspring survival probability. The second one is composed of opportunistic species, also with a relatively short life span, among which many are pioneer species which are not very habitat-specific. The third group is composed of species which require many years or even decades to achieve. DIVAnd version 2.1.0 was used to interpolate the observations to maps: Alexander Barth.
