Analysis of trap-nesting Hymenoptera at Mt. Kilimanjaro
Temperature, food resources and top-down regulation by antagonists are considered as major drivers of insect diversity, but their relative importance is poorly understood. In... -
Plot data of insects and percentage analysis of the leaf area lost by instect...
This data set contains data on elevation, climate, leaf traits and herbivore numbers which were collected for a study on leaf herbivory by invertebrates (mostly insects) on 55... -
Morphometric fruit traits of plants and morphometric traits of birds on Kilim...
Climate change and an increase in human disturbance are major drivers of global biodiversity loss. Yet it is not clear to what extent their effects on animal communities are... -
Various investigations to analyze the effects on species richness of birds du...
Climate is widely recognized as a major predictor of species richness patterns along large‐scale environmental gradients. Nevertheless, the mechanisms by which climate... -
Raw abundances of epigaeic arthropods on Mount Kilimanjaro
There are several data sets originating from the same pitfall trap samples. The other data set I just submitted contains mean abundances per plot. This data set now contains raw... -
