databases in MOSAIC
MOSAIC is both a primary database of new data and a centralising database of existing datasets of functional traits that are relevant to demographers. Below is a list of databases reviewed and integrated into MOSAIC. If there is a functional trait database that you are aware of that is not included in this list, please let us know through our suggestions page and we will incorporate that into MOSAIC.
