NaturalHistoryClass
Relevant descriptive information about the species:
##Atomized branch##
General appearance. Characteristic mode of growth or occurrence associated to the environment, particularly for plants. Comprising the size, shape, texture and orientation.
A controlled vocabulary is recommended.
e.g.
Raunkiær system for categorizing plants life-form (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raunki%C3%A6r_plant_life-form) tree, shrub, herb.
Class: LifeFormClass
Life history of a living organism: The sequence of life stages that an organisms undergoes from the fertilized zygote to reproduction ending with the generation of the offspring, or stages through which an organism passes.
Class: LifeCycleClass
All data related to the generation of offspring.
A controlled vocabulary is recommended.
Class: ReproductionClass
Set of changes or events that recurrently take place at the same time of year and are influenced by seasonal and interannual climate variations. For example: reproduction, flowering, fruiting, emergence of insects, etc. Also called phenology, mainly in plants. In the case of migration, it only makes reference to the timing; other data about this are gathered in MigratoryData.
Class: AnnualCyclesClass
Information related to the food supply for the development and sustenance of the individual and/or its offspring.
Class: FeedingClass
The permanent spreading of individuals away from each other not including return. Dispersal determines the range over which genetic mixing occurs, and thus, the degree of homogeneity and inbreeding in a population.
Class: DispersalClass
Responses, reactions or movements made by an organism in a particular situation.
Class: BehaviorClass
Mutual or reciprocal actions or influences. For example, predation, parasitism, mutualism, etc. Relations with products grown and stored by man (plagues) are also included.
Class: InteractionsClass
Information on the chemical structures and biological processes at the molecular level: DNA and proteins sequences, protein structures, expression profiles of genes protein domains, families of genes, mutations, polymorphisms, involvement in disease, ... Placeholder for connecting with standards developed by specialists, e.g. Standards for Data Exchange and Management from Scalalife (http://www.scalalife.eu/content/data.html).
Class: MolecularDataClass
The regular, usually seasonal, movement of all or part of an animal population to and from a given area, which can occur in variable periods of time and even involve more than one generation.
Class: MigratoryClass
Ecological importance of the taxon. (Placeholder)
Class: EcologicalSignificanceClass
Miscellaneous: notes attached to the natural history information of the taxon.
Class: [MiscDetailClass] (https://github.com/tdwg/PlinianCore/wiki/MiscDetailClass)
Set of environmental conditions within which it is believed that the species can persist; i.e. where its environmental requirements can be satisfied.
Class: [EnvironmentalEnvelopeClass] (https://github.com/tdwg/PlinianCore/wiki/EnvironmentalEnvelopeClass)
Quick Reference: Walker, P.A. and Cocks, K.D. 1991. HABITAT: a procedure for modeling a disjoint environmental envelope for a plant or animal species. Global Ecology & Biogeography Letter 1: 108-118.
