A database of functional traits for spiders from native forest of the Iberian Peninsula and Macaronesia. "Biodiversity Data Journal", 8, e49159. DOI: 10.3897/BDJ.8.e491591314-2828http://hdl.handle.net/10400.3/5772There is an increasing demand for databases including species trait information for biodiversity and community ecology studies. The existence of trait databases is useful for comparative studies within taxa or geographical regions, but there is low availability of databases for certain organisms. Here we present an open access functional trait database for spiders from Macaronesia and the Iberian Peninsula, recording several morphological and ecological traits related to the species life histories, microhabitat and trophic preferences.engAraneaeEcologyForestMorphologyPortugalSpainjournal article10.3897/BDJ.8.e49159000530570300001
