Visual survey of insect communities on Iva frutescens in summer 2013 and 2014 on Sapelo Island, Georgia

Visual surveys were conducted in summer 2013 and 2014 to record the insect fauna that occurred on patches of Iva frutescens. Forty-four patches of Iva frutescens at three locations on Sapelo Island, Georgia, were marked for repetitive surveys. Thirty-eight of these patches were sampled in 2014. The patches were visually surveyed every three days from May 29 - June 15, 2013, and from June 1 - July 29, 2014, and the taxon and abundance of insects were recorded. This submission contains three data tables: 1. Insect fauna of Iva patches in 2013. This data set includes observations of 44 patches on 6 sampling dates, and includes Armases crab data. 2. Insect fauna of Iva patches in 2014. This data set includes observations of 38 patches on 20 sampling dates. 3. Structure of Iva patches on Sapelo Island in 2013. This data set contains the dimensions (Length, Width, Height) and surrounding environments of the Iva patches that were surveyed in 2013. The GPS locations of the patches were measured in 2014.

本研究于2013年与2014年夏季开展目视调查，旨在记录栖息于Iva frutescens斑块中的昆虫区系。佐治亚州萨佩洛岛（Sapelo Island）的3个点位共标记了44处Iva frutescens斑块，用于后续重复调查；其中38处斑块于2014年完成采样。
调查频次为每3天1次：2013年调查时段为5月29日至6月15日，2014年为6月1日至7月29日，期间同步记录昆虫的类群与个体丰度。
本次提交的数据集包含三张数据表：
1. 2013年Iva frutescens斑块昆虫区系。本数据集涵盖6个采样日期下44处斑块的观测数据，包含Armases蟹（Armases crab）相关记录。
2. 2014年Iva frutescens斑块昆虫区系。本数据集涵盖20个采样日期下38处斑块的观测数据。
3. 2013年萨佩洛岛Iva frutescens斑块生境结构。本数据集包含2013年调查的全部Iva frutescens斑块的尺寸（长度、宽度、高度）及其周边生境信息；斑块的GPS坐标于2014年完成测定。
