Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The use of trait-based approaches and trait data in zooplankton ecology is rapidly growing to better understand and predict the patterns of zooplankton distributions and their role in aquatic ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. Although the number of zooplankton trait-based studies and available trait datasets is increasing, several challenges remain for the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR) in trait-based approaches that, if unaddressed, may stifle progress in this research area. Here, we review recent applications of trait-based approaches in zooplankton research and summarize the currently available trait data resources. To realize the potential of trait-based approaches to resolve ecological roles of zooplankton, datasets and approaches must adhere to FAIR principles. We provide recommendations and pathways forward to ensure FAIRness while highlighting the importance of collaborative efforts. These practical and easily implementable strategies will enhance the FAIRness of trait data, ultimately advancing zooplankton ecological research and connecting these findings to aquatic ecosystem functioning |
