The data here were used to examine inter-relationships between different insect community components based on insects collected using Malaise traps placed in 4 sites in the Rhine-Main-Observatory in G
40 homogenized Malaise trap samples of insects, prepared for sequencing with Illumina TruSeq DNA PCR-free kit, and sequenced on a single Illumina NovaSeq lane.
To compare the performance of two trap designs, nine pairs of standard Townes and ez-Malaise traps were deployed in native grasslands, grouped in three regional clusters over an eight-week period. Sam
