Hi there. This is a really fantastic tool! Can we link the trait data to environmental variables, i.e., temperatures or precipitations, to find out if some guilds are sensitive to them?

Hi, thank you for your comment! If I understand correctly, do you think of finding a combination of several different traits that as a whole, best indicative of environmental variables? If so, I think it should be plausible :) But in that case, I guess you could start with something easier and faster, e.g. a multiple linear regression with some type of lasso penalty. Hope this helps!
