Dung beetle abundance data from a before-and-after El Niño experiment in the Brazilian Amazon

This data set includes longitudinal abundance of dung beetles at dung-baited pitfall traps, recorded in 2010, 2016 and 2017 (around six years before, six months after and 18 months after the 2015-16 El Niño event, respectively) in the Brazilian Amazon region. Dung beetles were collected during the collaborative projects AFIRE (Assessing ENSO-induced Fire Impacts in tropical Rainforest Ecosystems) and ECOFOR (Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in degraded and recovering Amazonian and Atlantic Forests), which are part of the NERC Human-Modified Tropical Forest (HTMF) programme.

本数据集收录了2010年、2016年和2017年（分别距2015-16年厄尔尼诺事件前约六年、后六个月及十八个月）巴西亚马逊地区以粪便为诱饵的陷阱中粪金龟子的纵向丰度数据。粪金龟子的采集工作是在AFIRE（评估厄尔尼诺引发的热带雨林生态系统火灾影响）和ECOFOR（退化及恢复中的亚马逊和亚马孙森林的生物多样性与生态系统功能）合作项目中进行的，这两项研究项目均为NERC人类改造热带森林（HTMF）计划的一部分。关于此数据集的详细信息，可查阅https://doi.org/10.5285/799db965-3ce7-4e9b-8590-de6a8624d652。
