67 KB of CSV data from a field experiment disentangling microhabitat and macrohabitat drivers for cavity-nesting bees, wasps, and parasitoids. Author Massimo Martini contributed the dataset to figshare, with analysis code available via Zenodo. The data demonstrates moisture gradients in deadwood as the primary ecological driver for these communities.
Use Cases
- Modeling the impact of moisture gradients on cavity-nesting Hymenoptera diversity based on deadwood position.
- Analyzing the relative importance of forest diversity and structure versus microhabitat conditions for parasitoid communities.
- Testing hypotheses about biotic interactions with ants as antagonists for bee and wasp populations.
Strengths
- Dataset size is 67.0 KB, indicating a focused and manageable scope.
- License is CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse and sharing.
- Associated R code for analysis is publicly available via Zenodo.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single subtropical forest experiment.
