Platform data

Overview

Detailed view

Ants data obtained by baiting with 6 used nutrients (water, salt solution, sugar solution, amino-acid solution, amino-acid-sugar solution, oil). Data were collected during the wet and the dry season 2014 on the coreplots and intermediate elevation levels (1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000) on disturbed and undisturbed forest plots. The predation data were collected using an artificial caterpillar approach.

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.

The prediction map identifies the estimated richness of Pyraloidea species in the mountain rainforest in the San Francisco Valley. The corresponding regression model explained 72% in variation of species richness. Further information about the model and sampled field data are published in Wallis et al. (2017): Remote sensing improves prediction of tropical montane species diversity but performance differs among taxa. doi: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.01.022
