Description
This is VERSION 2 of data set and analytic codes (with a meta data [see the meta data from VERSION 1]) supporting "How do management decisions impact butterfly assemblages in smallholding oil palm plantations in Peninsular Malaysia?". We investigated the impacts of replanting and alternative replanting decisions (replanting with monoculture versus polyculture oil palm plantations) on within-plantation environmental conditions and butterfly assemblages (diversity, density, and composition). We also assessed the effects of habitat structure and complexity within plantations on butterfly assemblages. Apart from "BantingButterflies_ButterflyData", other data are the same as in VERSION 1.
## List of changes:
# 1. Tirumala septentrionis was not included in the analyses because it should have been Ideopsis vulgaris (had been corrected),
# 2. PC5 and PC6 (from PCA) were considered as predictors for the GLMs,
# 3. The Mantel test was added.
## Other notes:
# 1. Older version of ggiNEXT could work with facet.var = "site", now it needs to be "Assemblage"
# 2. Older version of ggiNEXT could work with facet.var = "order", now it needs to be "Order.q"
# 3. "set.seed(42)" function was used before running "iNEXT", ANOSIM, and the Mantel test to get reproducible outputs (exactly the same outputs every time each function is run).
