Butterflies in the Wanang forest dynamics plot, Papua New Guinea

Real field data: butterflies counted on 36 sampling days, three days a month over 12 months spread across three years, in the Wanang 50 ha forest dynamics plot, Papua New Guinea (Luk et al. 2019). Each sampling day is one site, which makes the data suited to sample-based accumulation and to partitioning diversity across days, months and years. Only the Wanang part of the published multi-site dataset is included.

Usage

wanang_butterflies

Format

A tibble with one row per day and species recorded, and six columns:

site: Sampling day, "day01" to "day36".
day: Sampling day number, 1 to 36.
month: Sampling month, 1 to 12, in order of sampling.
year: Sampling year, 1 to 3, in order of sampling.
species: Butterfly species.
abundance: Number of individuals counted.
