Platform data

Overview

Detailed view

Geometrid moths caught during the PHD-thesis of Nadine Hilt in 2002 and 2003 are included. For additional information see references cited for the main dataset (list of specimens).

Data from PHD-Thesis of Nadine Hilt. She is the main author of the dataset.

Data from PHD theses of Dirk Süßenbach and Nadine Hilt and diploma thesis of Manuela Zimmermann. They are the main authors of the data set.

All woody plants (including palms and arborescent ferns) with a diameter at breast height (dbh) > 5 cm and a height > 1.3 m were sampled on 50 permanent plots each covering 20 m × 20 m between 2007 and 2008. Species richness was estimated at a coverage of 70% of the expected total species richness using rarefaction and extrapolation. The site scores for the first two dimensions of NMDS ordination analysis were based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity (presence/absence).

Data from the PHD-thesis of Dirk Süßenbach.
