Diamond Cholla Data 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<i> </i><i>Cylindropuntia ramosissima</i> 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.

2023年7月莫哈韦沙漠（Mojave Desert）野外季钻石团扇（Diamond Cholla）相机陷阱与调查数据集

摘要：本研究针对加利福尼亚州莫哈韦沙漠的分枝圆柱掌（Cylindropuntia ramosissima）开展动植物相互作用案例研究，旨在明确其访者功能群及影响访花与开花的关键因素。本研究将相机陷阱布设与目视观测相结合，总计完成40组配对观测（n=40）。研究结果显示：相机陷阱监测点位的仙人掌高度与脊椎动物访花频次呈显著负相关；观测到传粉昆虫类群间存在潜在种间竞争的相关证据；调查点位的仙人掌高度、分枝数量与种群密度均与开花数量呈显著正相关。
