contents Information on the functional traits was gathered for the most commonly-sampled copepod species of the Mediterranean Sea. Our database includes 191 species described by 7 traits encompassing diverse ecological functions: minimal and maximal body length (mm), trophic group (Omnivore/Carnivore/Herbivore/Detritivore), feeding type (Cruise-feeding/Filter-feeding/Ambush-feeding), spawning strategy (Sac-spawner/Free-spawner), diel vertical migration (Non-migrant/Weak-migrant/Strong-migrant) and vertical habitat (prefered depth layer). Using cluster analysis in the functional trait space revealed that Mediterranean copepods can be gathered into groups that have different ecological roles.
