New study led by S. Llorente-Culebras on drivers of knowledge gaps in global mammal traits databases.
📊 Traits like diet & body mass are known for >97% of species, but reproductive traits for <17%.
🚨 Biggest gaps: data-deficient, recently described, range-restricted species far from major cities.
Aim Knowledge gaps in biodiversity, particularly in species traits, can hinder an accurate understanding of species roles in ecosystems, limiting our comprehension of ecosystem functions, maintenanc...
