Invertebrate activity data from an experiment in Malaysian Borneo, 2014-16 [HMTF]

This resource comprises a time series dataset of ant and other invertebrate abundance measured fortnightly at bait monitoring cards on an experimental plot in the Maliau Basin Conservation Area, Malaysian Borneo. The resource includes data regarding the amount of food resource removed from experimental plots when either ants or vertebrates were excluded from the resource. The data were collected to assess the roles that the different groups (ants, invertebrates, vertebrates) play in ecosystem function, and the capacity for functional redundancy within and between these groups. Data were collected between 2014 and 2016 during a project run by the University of Liverpool, which was part of the NERC Human-modified tropical forest (HMTF) Programme.本数据集为一套时间序列数据集，记录了马来西亚婆罗洲马里厄盆地保护区（Maliau Basin Conservation Area）一处实验样地中，通过诱饵监测卡每两周统计一次的蚂蚁及其他无脊椎动物丰度数据。本数据集还包含当蚂蚁或脊椎动物被排除在食物资源外时，从各实验样地中移除的食物资源量相关数据。本次数据采集工作旨在评估蚂蚁、无脊椎动物、脊椎动物这三类群在生态系统功能中所扮演的角色，以及这些类群内部及类群间的功能冗余能力。数据采集于2014至2016年间开展，由利物浦大学（University of Liverpool）负责执行，该项目隶属于英国自然环境研究委员会（Natural Environment Research Council, NERC）的人类改造热带森林（Human-modified tropical forest, HMTF）计划。
