Taxonomic and functional database of arthropod assemblages in a swine production system (Zavalla, Santa Fe, Argentina)

Abstract: This dataset provides a comprehensive inventory of arthropod communities monitored across five different environments within a Swine Production Module at the "J.F. Villarino" Experimental Farm (Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad Nacional de Rosario). Data were collected during the winter and spring seasons of 2019. The primary objective was to characterize fly fauna (Diptera) and associated arthropod assembly structures to assess potential sanitary risks and evaluate sustainable control methods for intensive livestock systems. Usage Note: This dataset supports the findings presented in the Specialization Thesis in Sustainable Animal Production by Natalia G. Budai (Agr. Eng.). Data Structure: The dataset is organized into two primary matrices corresponding to sampling methods: 1. Arthropod Matrix - Baited Traps (Sheet 1): Includes 48 species/morphospecies captured using protein-baited traps (fermented meat and bone meal). 2. Arthropod Matrix - Pan Traps (Sheet 2): Includes 122 species/morphospecies captured using standardized yellow chromatic traps. Metadata Fields Taxonomic Hierarchy: Class, Order, and Family. Specific Identity: Scientific name or Morphospecies ID (Recognizable Taxonomic Unit - RTU). The notation "cf." indicates that determination requires further specialist confirmation. Ontogenetic Stage: Life stage at capture (A = Adult, L = Larva). Functional Traits (Trophic Groups): Ants (ANT), Detritivores (DET), Hematophagous (HEM), Herbivores (HER), Pollen/Nectar feeders (P&N), Parasitoids (PAR), and Predators (PRE). Abundance Data: Total counts per environment: Gestation (GES), Maternity (MAT), Nursery (NUR), Growing (GRO), and Finishing (FIN). Sampling Methodology: Four replicates per environment were deployed for 4 consecutive days per season. Taxonomic identification was performed using regional keys and verified by specialists where possible.摘要：本数据集对罗萨里奥国立大学农业科学学院"J.F.比利亚里诺"试验猪场生产模块内5种不同养殖环境下监测的节肢动物群落进行了全面编目。数据采集于2019年冬季与春季。本研究的核心目标为解析双翅目（Diptera）蝇类群落及相关节肢动物的群落结构，以评估集约化畜牧系统中的潜在卫生风险，并评估可持续防控方法的应用效果。 使用说明：本数据集为Natalia G. Budai（农业工程师）撰写的《可持续动物生产专业化学位论文》中的研究结论提供了数据支撑。 数据结构：数据集按照采样方法分为两个核心矩阵： 1. 蛋白诱捕节肢动物矩阵（工作表1）：收录了利用发酵肉骨粉作为诱饵的蛋白诱捕器采集到的48个物种/形态种。 2. 黄色盘式诱捕节肢动物矩阵（工作表2）：收录了采用标准化黄色视觉诱捕盘采集到的122个物种/形态种。 元数据字段 分类层级：纲、目、科 物种标识：学名或形态种编号（可识别分类单元（Recognizable Taxonomic Unit, RTU）），标注"cf."表示该分类鉴定需经专家进一步确认。 发育阶段：采样时的虫态（A=成虫，L=幼虫）。 功能性状（营养类群）：蚁类（Ants, ANT）、食腐类（Detritivores, DET）、吸血类（Hematophagous, HEM）、植食类（Herbivores, HER）、花粉/花蜜食性类（Pollen/Nectar feeders, P&N）、寄生类（Parasitoids, PAR）及捕食类（Predators, PRE）。 丰度数据：各养殖环境的个体总数：妊娠舍（Gestation, GES）、分娩哺乳舍（Maternity, MAT）、仔猪保育舍（Nursery, NUR）、育成猪舍（Growing, GRO）及育肥舍（Finishing, FIN）。 采样方法：每个养殖环境设置4个重复采样组，每个采样季连续部署4天。分类鉴定采用区域分类检索表完成，并尽可能经专家复核确认。
