El Batán in Estado de México and CENEB in Sonora, Mexico, are the locations for this arthropod collection. The database contains data on arthropods caught using Malaise traps in maize and wheat fields planted with flower strips over three years (2021-2024). Arthropods were sampled regularly at five distances from the flower strips and assigned to taxonomic and functional groups by author Abel Saldivia-Tejeda from CIMMYT.
Use Cases
- Analyze arthropod community composition based on taxonomic group assignments mentioned in the description
- Study the effect of distance from flower strips on arthropod abundance based on the sampling design
- Model arthropod functional group distribution across different agro-ecological regions in Mexico
- Assess temporal population dynamics over the three-year sampling period
Strengths
- Sampling occurred over three years (2021-2024), providing longitudinal data
- Data collection covers two distinct agro-ecological regions in Mexico
- Arthropods are categorized by both taxonomic and functional groups
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
