Data on the abundance of the peatland mite Nanhermannia coronata from two mires in Norway: Hitra and Høstadmyra. Samples were collected from four microhabitat types: Hummock, Lawn, Hollow, and Between Hummock and Hollow. The dataset provides separate counts for five developmental stages: adults, larvae, protonymphs, deutonymphs, and tritonymphs.
Use Cases
- Modeling mite population structure based on counts of five developmental stages.
- Comparing arthropod abundance across different peatland microhabitats like Hummock, Lawn, and Hollow.
- Analyzing spatial distribution patterns of Nanhermannia coronata between the two Norwegian mire sites.
Strengths
- Data is structured by five distinct developmental stages, allowing for life-cycle analysis.
- Samples cover four specific microhabitat types within the peatland environment.
- Collection spans two separate mire locations in Norway, providing a basis for site comparison.
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
