Larval development time (described in worksheet Larval_development)
Description: Dataset of Ae. albopictus larval development time across a land-use gradient. Larval experiments were reared according to methods described in Gregory et al. (2019) Env. Res. Lett.
Number of fields: 12
Number of data rows: 1329
Fields:

date: Date of mosquito observation (Field type: date)
location: SAFE sampling location where larval experiments were conducted (Field type: location)
tank: ID of the larval rearing tank (Field type: id)
type: land-use type (Field type: categorical)
temp_mean: average daily temperature at sampling site (Field type: numeric)
temp_range: average daily temperature range at sampling sites (Field type: numeric)
temp_max: average daily maximum temperature at sampling sites (Field type: numeric)
temp_min: average daily minimum temperature at sampling sites (Field type: numeric)
dev_days: number of days from egg hatching to adult emergence (Field type: numeric)
wings: wing length (from distal end of alula to peripheral vein R3, excluding fringe) (Field type: numeric)
sex: sex of mosquito (Field type: categorical)
taxa: species (Field type: taxa)

Adult mosquito abundance (described in worksheet Host-seeking_adults)
Description: Dataset of host-seeking adult Aedes albopictus abundance and parity status. Mosquito abundance data was determined by human landing catches conducted in human settlements in logged forest and oil palm plantations. Parity assessment determined by dissection and ovary tracheation.
Number of fields: 9
Number of data rows: 276
Fields:

date: date of human landing catch (Field type: date)
locations: location of HLC (Field type: location)
type: Land-use type classification of HLC sampling location (Field type: categorical)
taxa: mosquito species (Field type: taxa)
sex: sex of mosquito (Field type: categorical)
wing_: wing length of mosquito (Field type: numeric)
parity: parity status of mosquito (Field type: categorical)
sperm: mating status of mosquito (Field type: categorical)
nematodes: number of nematode parasites in mosquito (Field type: numeric)
Date range: 2016-03-15 to 2018-03-08
Latitudinal extent: 4.3812 to 5.0700
Longitudinal extent: 116.7500 to 117.8200
Taxonomic coverage: All taxon names are validated against the GBIF backbone taxonomy. If a dataset uses a synonym, the accepted usage is shown followed by the dataset usage in brackets. Taxa that cannot be validated, including new species and other unknown taxa, morphospecies, functional groups and taxonomic levels not used in the GBIF backbone are shown in square brackets.
