#' Species-by-Trait Matrix for Late Ordovician Marine Fossils.
#'
#' Sample data set of life habit codings (functional traits) for fossil taxa
#' from the Late Ordovician (Type Cincinnatian) Kope and Waynesville Formations
#' from Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky (U.S.A.). The faunal list was compiled from
#' the \href{https://paleobiodb.org/}{Paleobiology Database}.
#'
#' @name KWTraits
#' @rdname KWTraits
#'
#' @details Binary traits are coded with 0 = absent and 1 = present. Five
#' ordered numeric traits (body volume, mobility, distance from seafloor
#' [stratification]) were rescaled to range from 0 to 1 with discrete bins at
#' equally spaced intermediate values.
#'
#' See Novack-Gottshall (2007: especially online Supplementary Appendix A at
#' \href{https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237375733_Using_a_theoretical_ecospace_to_quantify_the_ecological_diversity_of_Paleozoic_and_modern_marine_biotas}{for
#' reprint}) for definition each functional trait, justifications,
#' explanations, and examples. Novack-Gottshall (2007: Supplementary Appendix
#' B; 2016: Supplementary Appendix A) provides examples of how traits were
#' coded using inferences derived from functional morphology, body size,
#' ichnology, \emph{in situ} preservation, biotic associations recording
#' direct interactions, and interpretation of geographic and depositional
#' environment patterns.
#'
#' Indeterminate taxa (e.g., trepostome bryozoan indet. or
#' \emph{Platystrophia} sp.) that occurred within individual samples within
#' these formations were excluded from the aggregate species pool unless their
#' occurrence was the sole member of that taxon. Such indeterminate taxa and
#' genera lacking a species identification were coded for a particular state
#' only when all other members of that taxon within the Kope-Waynesville
#' species pool unanimously shared that common state; otherwise, the state was
#' listed as NA (missing).
