Description

Data on the Amazonian Malaise trapping carried out in 1998, 2000, 2008 and 2011 by the University of Turku. Flying insects were collected by Malaise traps in Peruvian Amazonia by Ilari Sääksjärvi and Isrrael Gómez. The dataset contains data on what samples were collected, on the trap sites, on the vegetation around the trap sites, and on the weather. More importantly, it contains information on how this data was compiled. There was no complete list of Amazonian Malaise samples before this, and the sample data had to be combined from multiple sources.

This dataset is also described in the associated paper (link to come when published).
