Platform data

Overview

Detailed view

Data from PHD-theses of Dirk Süßenbach and Nadine Hilt and diploma thesis of Manuela Zimmermann. They are the main authors of the dataset. For further information see references listed with the main arctiid dataset (list of specimens).

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).

Abundance of vascular epiphytes (incl. hemiepiphytes) in 10 x 10 m plots across a land-use gradient.
All samples (columns) give abundance data for vascular epiphyte assemblages in plots of 10x10 meters. PT = Handtuchfläche secondary forest (RSF), Ai = secondary forest at Arco Iris (Ai1: around Ai-building, Ai2-plots on neighbouring ridge towards W), Q2 = Quebrada 2 (RSF), Q5 = Quebrada 5 (RSF), PP = Pinus plantation above ECSF, LC = Loma Chamusqiuín (1-4: secondary forest below Loja-Zamora road, 5-8: secondary forest above Loja-Zamora road). SF = tall secondary forest at RSF, DF = tall degraded forest at RSF; MF = mature (undisturbed) forest at RSF.
Geogr. coordenates still need to be added.

This dataset contains bird monitoring data from all core plots (natural and disturbed forest sites) from two different seasons(wet and dry season)at three different altitudes (1000, 2000, 3000 masl)over two years (2014 & 2015).

We monitored frugivore diversity and plant-frugivore interactions in a tropical montane forest in Southern Ecuador across an elevational (1000, 2000, 3000 masl) and human disturbance gradient over two years (2014 & 2015)

In the uploaded data you can find the richness and abundance of  frugivore birds and fruiting plants(involved in the interaction networks. They were recorded in a 30m x 100m transect inside the core plots.

For more information about the interaction network data contact Marta Quitián.

Bird species (elevational gradient: 1800-2530m) occurrence and abundance has been collected by a trained observer in 30 forest sites in the study area under favorable weather conditions at 6:00–10:00 and 16:00–18:00 (UTC ?5:00) between 2000 and 2002 (Paulsch and Müller-Hohenstein, 2008). Standardized point counts (30 min) were repeated 12 times per site and combined with mist-netting data to comprehensively assess the bird assemblages.

The abundance data has been used in project C2 for the purpose to model species alpha and beta diversity with permission of Detlev Paulsch.

Abundance of ant species were collected during the wet and the dry season 2014 on the core plots and intermediate elevation levels (1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000) on disturbed and undisturbed forest plots.

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).

Tree inventory data (> 10cm; species richness, Shannon indices, tree density) and coordinates of 72 inventory plots (60m x 60m) in the dry forest.
