Insect herbivory in a South African savanna-forest mosaic: neglected but substantial

These are primary data for the study of insect herbivory conducted in the savanna-forest mosaic of HluHluwe Imfolozi Park in South Africa. The submission contains the following files: specifically, notes for scripts and data particularly used in this study. 1. Script 00_Configuration for R2. Script 01_types_of_herbivory represents Figure 3a and Figure S13. Script 02_subset7_speciesALLhabitats represents Figure 3b, Figure S4, S54. Script 03_leaf_size_explorations represents Figures S2 and S35. Script 04_Species_traits_analyses represents Table 16. Script 05_Savanna correlation7. Script 06_herbivory_savanna_PCA represent figure 4b Data used:1. Data = Distribution_herbivory_class represented Figure_2b & TableS42. Data = Mean proportion of leaf area eaten by chewers and miners per individual plant species represent figure 2a3. Data = Data_Table S1_fire_mammal gradient4. Data = Leaf sizes investigations for all plant species5. Data = KTraits_20220625_PhylTrait.csv represents phylogenetic correlation signals in table 1 for correlation matrix (Pearson correlation).6. Data = 07_dataset_herbivory_fortraits.csv represents correlation table 1 or correlation matrix (Pearson correlation).7. Data = Environment_savanna_correlations_ExcelPlot.2024 represents Figure S6a & 6b本数据集为在南非赫卢赫卢韦-因福洛齐公园（Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park）的稀树草原-森林镶嵌景观（savanna-forest mosaic）生境中开展的昆虫植食性（insect herbivory）研究的原始数据。本次提交包含以下文件：本研究专用的脚本与数据配套说明文档。 1.
