Created carabid beetle abundance datasets.

Values present the average total catch per treatment per time interval. The datasets were created using seasonal data collected on P. oblongopunctatus (see text). Each treatment consisted of five replicates, with four traps per replicate (60 traps in total). The traps were visited five times (20 days intervals), resulting in 300 trapping events in the dataset. The whole procedure was repeated 100 times to create 100 carabid abundance datasets. Treatment levels 2 and 3, Time Intervals 1 and 2 (“High catch loss”) and Treatment levels 1 and 2, Time Intervals 4 and 5 (“Low catch loss”) represent the cells from where traps were randomly lost (see text).
