title: Myrmecophilous Pselaphine Beetles In Tropical Forests

description: <b>Description: </b>This data set includes taxanomic and abunance data for Pselaphinae beetles and ants collected in the leaf litter across Primary and logged forests sites. Selected environemntal variables (soil temperature, soil moisture and canopy cover) were also recorded at each sample site. <b>Project: </b>This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <b>The Maliau Quantitative Inventory</b><b>XML metadata: </b>GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available here<b>Files: </b>This consists of 1 file:
