Description
This deposit contains data set and analytic codes (accompanied with a meta data) supporting "The impacts of within-stream physical structure and riparian buffer strips on semi-aquatic bugs in Southeast Asian oil palm". We assessed the impacts of within-stream physical structure and riparian buffer strips on semi-aquatic bug (Gerromorpha, Hemiptera) communities in oil palm streams in Sabah, Malaysia. Collections of semi-aquatic bugs were conducted from oil palm with and without riparian buffer strips.
Several environmental parameters were collected to represent within-stream physical structure. We investigated the impacts on the abundance, biomass, species richness, and community composition of semi-aquatic bugs. Additionally, we studied the effects on the proportion of juveniles as well as female Ptilomera sp. (a morphospecies with clear sexual dimorphism in this study).
