Functional Invertebrate Groups - Dataset

Collected Invertebrate data using pitfall traps at streetlights with different characteristics at three different sites in Switzerland (Birmensdorf, Lägern & Alpthal). LED characteristics are LED color temperature, light level and luminaire shape (K, L_level, Diff). Additionally, we had two pitfall trap positions: Center (C; 100% light intensity)) and Periphery (P; 10% light intensity). The traps were emptied weekly over a period of two summers (2021 & 2022). The samples were sorted into 40 different taxonomic invertebrate groups. We included weeks where we turned of the light for a different experiement, these weeks were excluded from this dataset.
