Investigating Temperature Tolerance in Mosquito Disease Vectors Across a Land-Use Gradient

Description: Mosquito larval survey and thermotolerance data Project: This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: Investigating Temperature Tolerance in Mosquito Disease Vectors Across a Land-Use Gradient XML metadata: GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available here Data worksheets: There are 4 data worksheets in this dataset: Field microclimate data (Worksheet Microclimate) Dimensions: 6917 rows by 11 columns Description: Data was recorded using EasyLog USB dataloggers. They were put out either hung on a tree, or suspended off the ground (in the absense of trees) and covered to avoid direct sunlight. Fields: Block: SAFE Project sampling block (Field type: Location) Plot: Sample site (Field type: Location) Site: SAFE Project sampling block (Field type: ID) Point: SAFE Project sample location (Field type: ID) DATE: Date of the measurement (Field type: Date) TIME: Time of the measurement (Field type: Time) Temp: Air temperature (Field type: Numeric) RelHumid: Relative humidity (Field type: Numeric) DewPoint: The temperature at which the air would condense and dew would form (Field type: Numeric) SerialNumber: Serial number of the microclimate datalogger used to collect the data (Field type: ID) Thermal tolerance (Worksheet CTmax) Dimensions: 317 rows by 6 columns Description: Thermal tolerance experiments on mosquito larvae Fields: Date: The Date the CT max value was taken (Field type: Date) VialNumber: the vial that the individual came from, and how it is referred to in my field notebook (Field type: ID) LandType: Habitat type from which the individual was collected (Field type: Categorical) CriticalMax: The temperature in celcius that the individual became unresponsive to stimulus (Field type: Numeric) GivenSpecies: Identity of the individual being tested (Field type: Taxa) Site x species data (Worksheet SpeciesData) Dimensions: 192 rows by 9 columns Description: Field observations of field mosquito communities Fields: Block: SAFE Project sampling block (Field type: Location) Plot: Sample site (Field type: Location) Site: SAFE Project sampling block (Field type: ID) Point: SAFE Project sample site (Field type: ID) Replicate: is the replicate of sampling each data collection took place. There were three weeks of sampling so the only values are 1, 2, or 3.

The maximum value is 96 if there is no canopy cover. (Field type: Numeric) Val2: Number of quartersquares that lack canopy cover in one of the four cardinal directions. The maximum value is 96 if there is no canopy cover. (Field type: Numeric) Val3: Number of quartersquares that lack canopy cover in one of the four cardinal directions. The maximum value is 96 if there is no canopy cover. (Field type: Numeric) Val4: Number of quartersquares that lack canopy cover in one of the four cardinal directions. The maximum value is 96 if there is no canopy cover. (Field type: Numeric) AveVal: Average densiometer reading (max = 96) (Field type: Numeric) AdjustedVal: Average canopy openness (Field type: Numeric) CanopyCover: Average canopy cover (Field type: Numeric) Date range: 2017-03-20 to 2017-09-04 Latitudinal extent: 4.6314 to 4.7436 Longitudinal extent: 117.4556 to 117.6249 Taxonomic coverage: All taxon names are validated against the GBIF backbone taxonomy. If a dataset uses a synonym, the accepted usage is shown followed by the dataset usage in brackets. 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.
