    Tree community composition of survey plots in the forests of Bulong Nature Reserve

    No full text
    The dataset is a subset of plant community composition data in Mengsong. For cross-site predictions, we used only the Mengsong plots (n = 16) located within the forest of Bulong Nature Reserve (~60 km2) and only included trees > 5cm DBH in each plot, to maximum comparability between the two landscapes. The rows are survey plots and columns are tree species. This is an input file for R

    The data is for insect samples from Malaise traps in Mengsong, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China. Samples were prepared by using one leg from all specimens equal to or larger than a large fly (~5 mm length) and whole bodies of everything smaller. Following the protocol of Ji et al. (2013), samples were homogenized, and DNA was extracted, quality-checked, PCR-amplified with indexed, degenerate primers for the standard mtCOI barcode region, and gel-purified. The PCR products were A-amplicon-sequenced on a Roche GS FLX at the Kunming Institute of Zoology. The 28 Mengsong samples were sequenced on one whole run (four 1/4 regions, November-December 2010: wet season) and two 1/4 regions (May-June 2011: dry season), producing 519 865 and 253 025 raw reads, respectively
