title: Coleoptera functional and morphological traits

description: <b>Description: </b>Data on beetle body length, trophic level, and biomass derived from body length measurements. <b>Project: </b>This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: <b>Spatial scaling of beetle community diversity</b><b>XML metadata: </b>GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available here<b>Files: </b>This consists of 1 file: Vigus_beetles_data_FINALv2.xlsx<b>Vigus_beetles_data_FINALv2.xlsx</b>This file contains dataset metadata and 1 data tables:<b>Beetle community data</b> (described in worksheet Vigus_beetles_data)Description: Data on beetle taxonomy, individual body length, trophic level, and biomass derived from body length measurements. Aboveground biomass data at trap sites. Family-specific allometric equations used to convert body length to biomass. Not all the families measured had a specific equation so a general Coleoptera equation was used in these cases.Number of fields: 13Number of data rows: 9534Fields: <b>Date</b>: Calendar date (Field type: date)<b>Trap ID</b>: Identity of trap (Field type: location)<b>Unique ID</b>: Unique identity number of individual - relates to label numbers on specimens (Field type: id)<b>Highest taxonomic identity</b>: Taxonomic identity to highest possible (Field type: taxa)<b>Highest taxonomic level</b>: Highest taxonomic level beetles identified to (Field type: id)<b>TL1</b>: Trait level one (Field type: categorical trait)<b>TL2</b>: Trait level two (Field type: categorical trait)<b>Certainty</b>: Certainty values of trophic levels for different taxonomic groups were assigned using a numerical value of a to e (Field type: ordered categorical)<b>Trap Detailed</b>: More specific trap identity (Field type: id)<b>Length</b>: Body length measured from the frons to the tip of the abdomen (Field type: numeric trait)<b>a</b>: Coefficients for allometric equation M=exp(b+a*Log(L)) (Field type: numeric)<b>b</b>: Coefficients for allometric equation M=exp(b+a*Log(L)) (Field type: numeric)<b>Mass</b>: Biomass of individual as determined by formula (Field type: numeric)<b>Date range: </b>2011-02-21 to 2015-07-31<b>Latitudinal extent: </b>4.6350 to 4.7716<b>Longitudinal extent: </b>116.9474 to 117.7031<b>Taxonomic coverage: </b><br> All taxon names are validated against the GBIF backbone taxonomy.

Taxa that cannot be validated, including new species and other unknown taxa, morphospecies, functional groups and taxonomic levels not used in the GBIF backbone are shown in square brackets. - Animalia <br> -
