Abstract:
Caterpillar MOTU based species survey and morphological trait measurements. Data collected from site A extinction scenario A trees following TreeDi tree species pair (TSP) sampling design.
Design:
Trees were selected according to tree species pair design using mostly the trees in TreeDi general design with only minor supplements. 16 tree species from tree richness levels from 1-24 were selected in pairs providing approximately between 5 and 9 individuals of each tree species per tree richness level. Due to high mortality the tree amount per richness level was in some cases less than 5. Caterpillars were collected with a beating tray method and stored individually to 100% ethanol in the field and further stored to -20 Celsius. All samples were DNA sequenced for standard COI fragment used in DNA-barcoding using Sanger sequencing platform. Trait measurements were done in laboratory prior to DNA sequencing, or in the case of head related traits after sequencing from detached head capsules.
Spatial extent:
Site A of BEF-China experimental forest. The BEF-China experiment is located near Xingangshan Township, Dexin City of Jiangxi Province (29.08–29.11 N, 117.90–117.93 E) (Yang et al. 2013)
Temporal extent:
Three sampling campaigns conducted: Spring 2019, mid-summer 2019 and autumn 2019
Taxonomic extent:
Caterpillars (Lepidopteran larva)
