Biodiversity and Global Change Fall Quarter, 1998

Linked to this page are several datasets from previous studies of carabid beetles on campus.

Traps92. This file contains a list of all pitfall traps from 1992. Each trap is classified by habitat, canopy, and microhabitat.

Habitat
SY: asphalt, medians, grassland, scotch broom
BW: broadleaf woods
CW: conifer woods
MW: mixed woods, coastal, wooded wetlands

Canopy over trap site; values: AM, asphalt, medians; BW, broadleaf woods; CL, coastal; CW, conifer woods; GL, grassland; MW, mixed woods; SB, Cytisus (scotch broom); WL, wetland (wooded). Habitats: MW = MW + CL + WL, SY = AM + GL + SB.

Microhabitat: Ground cover near trap site; values: CD, conifer duff; DW, decaying wood; FF, fern; NA, not applicable; OG, Berberis (oregon grape); RU, Rubus (black berries, salmon berry, thimbleberry); SA, salal

dta92all. This dataset contains results of 1992 survey. Each row is the occurrence of a species in a trap. Variables for each row are: Transect (A-G), Time period (1-7), Species code (see below), Abundance, Trap code, and Habitat.

dta94all. This dataset contains results of 1994 survey. Sampling was done for one 24 hour period during week 2 of the fall quarter. Each row is the contents of one trap, in the form of a trap x species matrix. Variables for each row are: Habitat, Trap code, and abundances for each species encountered over the entire study.

Note that trap codes for 1992 and 1994 do not match exactly, due to variation in total number of traps places, lost traps, etc.
