Data for: Arthropod diversity in constructed wetlands is affected strongly by shoreline properties but only weakly by grazing

Aim: Aquatic-terrestrial transition zones contain features essential for many species that often benefit wetland biodiversity. Shallow flood-zone areas and reed beds are indicative of natural wetland habitats, however, how such features affect the native arthropod biodiversity in constructed wetlands is scarcely investigated. We asked how these shoreline features, as well as wetland shoreline properties and grazing management, influence riparian arthropod diversities and habitat specializations.
Location: Constructed wetlands, Sweden. 
Taxa: Araneae, Coleoptera, Diptera.
Methods: Taxonomic-, phylogenetic- and trait diversities, along with habitat specialist species richness, were measured in riparian spiders, beetles and selected diptera in 68 constructed wetlands in two regions of Sweden. We ran structural equation models to estimate direct and indirect effects from shoreline slope, flooded grassland, reed areas and grazing management on group diversities, and used multivariate mo..., These datasets were collected in 68 constructed wetlands, within two regions in Sweden (Halland and Uppland). Arthropod samples were collected using three sampling methods; SLAM (Sea, Land and Air Malaise) trapping, Pitfall trapping and suction sampling during three periods during the summer of 2020, 1) lat May to early June, 2) late June to early July, and 3) August to early September. The SLAM traps contained water with detergent and were used to collect flying insects. SLAM traps were placed as close to the wetland waters edge as possible, where triplicate 70mm pitfall traps were spaced 5m apart, perpendicular to the shoreline, and within 10m of the SLAM trap, also containing water with detergent. Both SLAM and pitfall traps were used for a duration of 72h. Suction samples were collected using a converted leaf blower at three sampling points similar to placement of pitfall traps perpendicular to the shoreline by placing a 45cm diameter hoop within which we vacuum collected all ground..., , # Data for: Strong effects of shoreline properties but weak effects of grazing on arthropod diversity in constructed wetlands
