Abstract. Measures of traits are the basis of functional biological diversity. Numerous works
consider mean species-level measures of traits while ignoring individual variance within species.
However, there is a large amount of variation within species and it is increasingly apparent that
it is important to consider trait variation not only between species, but also within species. Mammals
are an interesting group for investigating trait-based approaches because they play diverse
and important ecological functions (e.g., pollination, seed dispersal, predation, grazing) that are
correlated with functional traits. Here we compile a data set comprising morphological and life
history information of 279 mammal species from 39,850 individuals of 388 populations ranging
from 5.83 to 29.75 decimal degrees of latitude and 34.82 to 56.73 decimal degrees of longitude
in the Atlantic forest of South America. We present trait information from 16,840 individuals
of 181 species of non-volant mammals (Rodentia, Didelphimorphia, Carnivora, Primates,
Cingulata, Artiodactyla, Pilosa, Lagomorpha, Perissodactyla) and from 23,010 individuals of 98
species of volant mammals (Chiroptera). The traits reported include body mass, age, sex, reproductive
stage, as well as the geographic coordinates of sampling for all taxa. Moreover, we gathered
information on forearm length for bats and body length and tail length for rodents and
marsupials. No copyright restrictions are associated with the use of this data set. Please cite this
data paper when the data are used in publications. We also request that researchers and teachers
inform us of how they are using the data.
Key words: biodiversity hotspot; biogeographic region; body mass; forest fragmentation; functional
diversity; geographic range; individual based darta; individual variation; interspecific variation; inventories;
Mammalia; rainforests.
