Meijendel research 1953-1960

<p>The dataset contains sampling data of 100 pitfalls that were collected weekly in the Meijendel dune area from March 1953 until March 1960. The dataset contains more than 250 beetle species together with a number of mammal species. The research was done by the Animal Ecology and Plant Ecology group of Leiden University. In particular, drs. G.J. de Bruyn throughout the years has made much effort to empty the pitfalls, identify specimens. In addition, he acted as custodian of the specimen collections and archival records until these could be digitized.</p>
<p>Pitfalls were placed in groups of three in replicates of the same set of habitats, running along a gradient from open vegetation dominated by low vegetation (&lt;5cm) and bare sand, through to various stands of woods, groves and shrub dominated vegetations. More details will be published as supplementary material in a data paper</p>

该数据集收录了自1953年3月至1960年3月期间，在Meijendel沙丘区域每周收集的100个陷阱样本数据。数据集中包含超过250种甲虫物种以及多种哺乳动物物种。研究由莱顿大学的动物生态学与植物生态学小组完成。特别是，G.J. de Bruyn 博士多年来投入大量努力清空陷阱，鉴定标本。此外，他担任标本收藏和档案记录的保管人，直至这些资料得以数字化。陷阱被分组放置，每组三个，在相同栖息地的复制品中沿植被主导的开阔地带（低植被高度小于5厘米）和裸露沙滩的梯度，直至各种林地、树林和灌木丛主导的植被区域。更多详细信息将在数据论文的补充材料中发布。
