Analyses of "Ramp traps versus pitfall traps for collecting epigeal arthropods: a case study in a coniferous forest in Southwest Finland"

Analyses for our article on the relative performance of pitfall traps and ramp traps in catching arthropods.

Contains:

The R code used to draw figures and test for differences between trap types.

The data.

The figures drawn by the code:

Barplots of every taxa that showed significant differences between trap types, sampling periods or sampling sites. Barplots show the number of individuals per trap day caught in each group of samples (bars) and in each sample (dots). A group of samples contains the three samples (from three traps) that came from the same trap type, sampling period and sampling site. Bars are sorted by trap type, period, or site (whichever was significant).

To run the code, you need R, the package mvabund (installation instructions in analysis.r), and also need to set the working directory to wherever the script is on your computer (see first line of code in analysis.r).
