Workflow 3: Trait response of consumers to intrinsic and extrinsic factors

This analytical workflow examines the response of stable biomass consumers to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, and to determine which species or groups of organisms are most affected and in what ways. Workflow 3 (WF3) applies a range of analytical methods to a curated dataset of behavioral and functional traits of vertebrate species, with the aim of evaluating how these traits affect the relationship between home range and body mass. This workflow can be used to analyse how temperature increases affect the metabolic costs and spatial use of trophic resources by heterotrophs. This workflow is designed to work with any tabular dataset in which variables and factors are organised into columns. This enables analyses to be adapted to specific research questions.
