Diamond Cholla Open Dataset July 2023

Diamond cholla camera trap and survey datasets for July 2023 field season in the Mojave desert.Abstract: A case study of plant-animal interactions with Cylindropuntia ramosissima in the Mojave desert, California to identify its visitor guild and factors that influence visitation and flowering. Camera trap deployments were paired with visual observations for a total of n=40. Cacti height negatively correlated with vertebrate visitation at the camera trapped site. Evidence of potential competition between pollinator species was observed. Height, branching number, and density correlated positively with flowering number at survey sites.Updated dataset: January 02 2024莫哈韦沙漠2023年7月野外季钻石团扇（Diamond cholla）相机陷阱（camera trap）与调查数据集。摘要：本研究以加利福尼亚州莫哈韦沙漠的分枝团扇（Cylindropuntia ramosissima）为对象开展植物-动物相互作用案例研究，旨在明确其访客功能群以及影响访视与开花的相关因素。本次研究采用相机陷阱布设与目视观测相结合的方案，总有效样本量为n=40。在布设相机陷阱的样点中，仙人掌株高与脊椎动物访视频率呈显著负相关。研究观测到传粉者物种间存在潜在种间竞争的证据。在调查样点中，植株株高、分枝数与种群密度均与开花数量呈显著正相关。数据集更新时间：2024年1月2日
