This release was generated from source materials available at https://github.com/traitecoevo/austraits.build/releases/tag/v0.9.0 This release includes data accumulated until May 2019, but excluding data removed where there is ongoing restructuring or where data have not been correctly attributed. Work up to this point was funded from ARC fellowship grants to Gallagher and Falster, as well as funding from Macquarie University (fellowship to Gallagher) and the Science Industry Endowment Fund (for Falster's salary in 2016).
