Abstract

We present DiasMorph, a dataset of images and traits of diaspores from 1,442 taxa in 519 genera, and 96 families from Central Europe, totalling 94,214 records. The dataset was constructed following a standardised and reproducible image analysis method. The image dataset consists of diaspores against a high-contrast background, enabling a simple and efficient segmentation process. The quantitative ...

We present DiasMorph, a dataset of images and traits of diaspores from 1,442 taxa in 519 genera, and 96 families from Central Europe, totalling 94,214 records. The dataset was constructed following a standardised and reproducible image analysis method. The image dataset consists of diaspores against a high-contrast background, enabling a simple and efficient segmentation process. The quantitative traits records go beyond traditional morphometric measurements, and include colour and contour features, which are made available for the first time in a large dataset. These measurements correspond to individual diaspores, an input currently unavailable in traits databases, and allow for several approaches to explore the morphological traits of these species. Additionally, information regarding the presence and absence of appendages and structures both in the images and diaspores of the assessed taxa is also included. By making these data available, we aim to encourage initiatives to advance on new tools for diaspore identification, further our understanding of morphological traits functions, and provide means for the continuous development of image analyses applications.
