title: Sierra de Bahoruco Constant-effort Mist Netting

description: Data were collected during 22 visits to two sites in Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, Dominican Republic, from 1995 - 2010. During each visit, we operated a standardized array of 30-35 mist nets (12-m x 2.6-m, 36-mm mesh) at each site. Detailed information on capture effort is included in this data set. We placed U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service aluminum leg bands on all North American migrant species and custom-made, uniquely numbered leg bands (Gey Band and Tag Company) on all Hispaniolan resident species. We did not have leg bands that fit Hispaniolan Emeralds (Chlorostilbon swainsonii), so we temporarily marked individuals of this species by clipping the distal 2-3 mm of up to three rectrices in a unique pattern; doing so allowed us to identify within-session recaptures. We aged and sexed all North American species using standard criteria according to Pyle (1997) and all resident species using criteria available in field guides (Latta et al., 2006) or based on our own accumulated field knowledge.

title: Data from: Producer diversity enhances consumer stability in a benthic marine community

description: 1. The diversity of many communities is changing due to local extinctions and invasions. Understanding the consequences of these changes is vital to their successful conservation, yet few studies have experimentally investigated how producer diversity affects the stability of higher trophic levels. Here we show that producer diversity, when manipulated as the only independent variable in the presence of natural top-down forces, increases the stability of consumer abundance, biomass, and diversity in a benthic marine community. 2. Using four macroalgal species (Codium fragile, Gracilaria tikvahiae, Gracilaria vermiculophylla, Gymnogongrus griffithsiae), we manipulated producer diversity (identity and richness) in a substitutive design to create seven treatments. Our treatments included four monocultures, two 3-species mixtures that differed only by including either the native or invasive Gracilaria, and the complete four species mixture. We followed the week-to-week dynamics of producer and consumer communities in each treatment concurrently for 12 weeks and quantified their temporal stability. 3. We found that higher producer diversity increased the stability of a diverse, productive consumer community. Producer biomass production did not affect consumer production or diversity, suggesting that producer diversity was solely responsible for driving the mechanisms underlying the observed multitrophic diversity–stability relationships. Taken together, our results indicate that higher producer diversity directly increased consumer diversity by increasing overyielding and decreasing the temporal variance of this response variable, and that this increased consumer diversity enhanced consumer stability via increased asynchrony among consumers. 4. Synthesis. Our results suggest that the effects of producer diversity propagate upwards to maintain diversity and productivity at higher trophic levels, and thereby enhance the overall stability of food webs.

title: Replication Data for How to be an ant on figs

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/F3O9BUMutualistic interactions are open to exploitation by one or other of the partners and a diversity of other organisms, and hence are best understood as being embedded in a complex network of biotic interactions. Figs participate in an obligate mutualism in that figs are dependent on agaonid fig wasps for pollination and the wasps are dependent on fig ovules for brood sites. Ants are common insect predators and abundant in tropical forests. Ants have been recorded on approximately 11% of fig species, including all six subgenera, and often affect the fig–fig pollinator interaction through their predation of either pollinating and parasitic wasps. On monoecious figs, ants are often associated with hemipterans, whereas in dioecious figs ants predominantly prey on fig wasps. A few fig species are true myrmecophytes, with domatia or food rewards for ants, and in at least one species this is linked to predation of parasitic fig wasps. Ants also play a role in dispersal of fig seeds and may be particularly important for hemi-epiphytic species, which require high quality establishment microsites in the canopy. The intersection between the fig–fig pollinator and ant–plant systems promises to provide fertile ground for understanding mutualistic interactions within the context of complex interaction networks.

title: Replication Data for Using metabarcoding to ask if easily collected soil and leaf-litter samples can be used as a general biodiversity indicator

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/SOENYIThe targeted sequencing of taxonomically informative genetic markers, sometimes known as metabarcoding, allows eukaryote biodiversity to be measured rapidly, cheaply, comprehensively, repeatedly, and verifiably. Metabarcoding helps to remove the taxonomic impediment, which refers to the great logistical difficulties of describing and identifying species, and thus promises to improve our ability to detect and respond to changes in the natural environment. Now, sampling has become a rate-limiting step in biodiversity measurement, and in an effort to reduce turnaround time, we use arthropod samples from southern China and Vietnam to ask whether soil, leaf litter, and aboveground samples provide similar ecological information. A soil or leaf-litter sample can be collected in minutes, whereas an aboveground sample, such as from Malaise traps or canopy fogging, can require days to set up and run, during which time they are subject to theft, damage, and deliberate contamination. Here we show that while the taxonomic compositions of soil and leaf-litter samples are very different from aboveground samples, both types of samples provide similar ecological information, in terms of ranking sites by species richness and differentiating sites by beta diversity. In fact, leaf-litter samples appear to be as or more powerful than Malaise-trap and canopy-fogging samples at detecting habitat differences. We propose that metabarcoded leaf-litter and soil samples be widely tested as a candidate method for rapid environmental monitoring in terrestrial ecosystems.

title: Replication Data for Quantifying the effects of abiotic and biotic factors in determining leaf litter decomposition rates along a disturbance gradient in a tropical montane landscape

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/JLPZZQDeforestation and forest degradation are driving unprecedented declines in biodiversity across the tropics, and understanding the consequences of these changes for ecosystem functioning is essential for human well-being. Forest degradation and loss alter ecosystem functioning through changes in species composition and abiotic conditions. However, the consequences of these changes for heterospecific processes are often poorly understood. Leaf litter decomposition is a major source of atmospheric carbon and critical for carbon and nutrient cycling. Through a highly replicated litter-bag experiment (3360 bags), we quantified the effects of litter quality, decomposer functional diversity and seasonal precipitation regime on litter decomposition along a tropical disturbance gradient in SW China. In addition, using soil and litter from sites selected from across the disturbance gradient, we established replicated litter-bed treatments and exposed these to a gradient of simulated canopy cover in a shade-house. Across the landscape, mass loss from litter-bags after 12 mo varied from 7-98%. Even after 12 mo, litter-bags installed at the beginning of the dry season had much lower mass loss than those installed at the beginning of the wet season. As expected, litter quality and faunal exclusion had substantial effects on decomposition rates. Decomposition rates declined along the disturbance gradient from mature forest, through regenerating forest to open land, although the effect size was strongly dependent on installation season. The effect of excluding meso- and macro-invertebrates increased with increasing forest degradation, whereas the effect of litter quality declined. Results from the shade-house experiment strongly suggested that forest degradation effects were driven predominantly by changes in micro-climatic conditions resulting from increased canopy openness. To better model the impacts of anthropogenic global change on litter decomposition rates, it will be important to consider landscape scale processes, such as forest degradation. Key words: carbon cycle; decomposition; disturbance gradient; landscape; leaf litter; litter fauna; litter-bags; mass loss; mesocosm; seasonality; soil properties; tropical forest.

title: Replication Data for Diversity and Vertical Distribution Characteristics of Vascular Epiphytes in Bulong Nature Reserve Mengsong Section, Xishuangbanna

description: This dataset was moved to: https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/KVK8EPThe first survey of vascular epiphytes was conducted using ground based inventory assisted by single rope technique in the recentlyestablished Bulong Nature Reserve, Xishuangbanna, China. Results indicated that vascular epiphytes were abundant and diverse there. On a total of 77 phorophytes in six plots (96 trees were examined in total, covered ca. 02ha area), 1756 individuals were recorded and were identified to 103 species (47 genera, 14 families). Compared with other regions, the epiphytes were as diverse as Paleotropics, and more diverse than temperate zone, but significantly less than the Neotropics. Orchids and ferns comprised 60%, 24% of the total flora, respectively, while others only took up 16%. The highest species richness and richest lifeform diversity was found in the middle canopy zone from 10 to 15m (51% of total species), where also supported high individual abundance (19% of total individuals). Besides the middle canopy, the most abundant zone of epiphyte individuals was detected at the base of the trunk (zone 0-5m, 24% of total individuals and 37% of total species), indicating another important niche for epiphytes in this forest environment. Primary hemiepiphytic figs were rare in the area and were not found on the surveyed host trees, while hemiepiphytic Araliaceae species (Schefflera elliptica and Tupidanthus calyptratus) were popular.
