Changes in β-diversity of saproxylic beetles along environmental gradients in temperate forests depend on species relative abundances

The dataset contains data on saproxylic beetles sampled in 2012 by
flight-interception traps (FIT) hanged on 235 trees in floodplain
woodlands along the lower Dyje and Morava rivers (SE Czech Republic).For more information see the article entitled 'Changes in β-diversity of saproxylic beetles along environmental
gradients in temperate forests depend on species relative abundances' by Sebek et al. in Journal of Biogeography.
The dataset
consists of three spreadsheets called Environmental, Beetle records, and
Tree phylogeny.Environmental: A table with environmental variables for
all trees sampled for saproxylic beetles assemblages by
flight-interception traps in floodplain woodlands along the lower Dyje
and Morava rivers (SE Czech Republic). Variable description: treeID =
unique tree identifier; N and E = latitudinal (North) and longitudinal
(East) geographic coordinates; Tree genus = tree genus identity (latin
name); Diameter = diameter of a tree at breast height (measured at 1.3 m
above ground); Canopy openness = a percentage of open sky 20 m around
the tree (fully shaded trees = 0%, fully open-grown trees = 100%).Beetle
records: A species by sample matrix of abundances of 676 saproxylic beetle
species recorded during the sampling. Abbreviated names of beetle
species are given in the first column, tree (sample) identifiers are
given in the first row. The tree identifiers correspond to the tree
identifiers ('treeID') in the Environmental spreadsheet.Tree phylogeny:
A Newick format for phylogeny of six tree genera sampled for saproxylic
beetle assemblages. The format code (and an image included) is a
simplified pruned tree based on the original phylogeny of Durka &
Michalski (2012).
