Invertebrate data from malaise traps and sweep transects according to habitat type on farms in Caquetá, Colombia

How to cite this Dataset

Description

These datasets include abundance data for invertebrates caught in three different habitat types on five farms in Caquetá, Colombia. Invertebrates were caught using two sampling methods, sweep net transects and malaise traps. Invertebrates were identified to order level at the Universidad de la Amazonia. These data were collected to investigate the impact of adopting silvopasture farming practices on biodiversity. As such, invertebrates were sampled in silvopasture plots, traditional intensive pasture plots and in forest remnants on each farm. Fieldwork was carried out over a three week period in August 2018.
