This repository contains code and data that was used in the analyses for the following publication:
Felix Neff, Jonas Hagge, Rafael Achury, Didem Ambarlı, Christian Ammer, Peter Schall, Sebastian Seibold, Michael Staab, Wolfgang W. Weisser, Martin M. Gossner (2022). Hierarchical trait filtering at different spatial scales determines beetle assemblages in deadwood. Functional Ecology. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.14186
All relevant analyses are contained in the file R_full_code.R. Data stored in the Data folder (also available from the Zenodo repository, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7092201):
- BELongDead_Subplots_Normal.csv: List of normal subplots within the BELongDead projects (only these were included in the analyses)
- Body_length.csv: Body length data for study species assembled from Freude et al. (1965-1998)
- Lightness_completion.csv: Colour lightness recorded from measured individuals and photos from coleonet.de (Lompe, 2002)
- Name_standardisation.csv: Dataset used to standardise taxonomic names from different sources
- Saproxylic_species_sub.csv: List of saproxylic species (according to Schmidl & Bussler (2004)), which were recorded in the project
- Similar_Species.csv: List of similar species for species with missing traits. Based on these, missing traits were estimated
Other data used for these analyses is available from the BEXIS data base (https://doi.org/10.17616/R32P9Q) (dataset IDs 18270, 20607, 20826, 21968, 22007, 22026, 22907, 22927, 24526, 24546, 26007, 30925, 31123, 31155) and from Hagge et al. (2021).
