Descrição

The dataset contains occurrence data of 36 species and 28 morphospecies of spiders (Araneae) and 40 species and 24 morphospecies of ants (Formicidae) collected from ten sampling points in northern Ghana during Oct-Nov 2022. The total sample size is 288 samples of spiders with 438 mature individuals and 782 samples of ants with 7859 individuals. The dataset contains collection information (locality, habitat, collecting method, time, coordinates, collectors, etc.) and sample information (collection code, count, sex, remarks, etc.). Data users should not attribute meaning to the names of the occurrence record identifiers used in this dataset. The identifiers used reflect an early iteration of the study design which is not relevant to the published data. This work was part of the project SustInAfrica and funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement 861924.

Métodos de Amostragem

In Kumbungu, a small town 20km northwest of Tamale (9°32'43.9"N 0°56'06.9"W), five 30 by 30m plots were each sampled with 32 pitfall traps and four Malaise traps. These plots were further divided into four approximately 10 by 10m subplots with eight pitfall traps and one Malaise trap. In Kumbungu, pitfall traps were grouped by subplot, with eight traps combined into a single sample. In Dallung, a small town 30km northwest of Tamale (9°37'57.8"N 1°00'27.1"W), a smaller 10 by 10m plot was sampled with eight pitfall traps and one Malaise trap, with each pitfall trap treated as an individual sample. In addition to these two mango orchards, a partly forested savannah in the Sinsablegbinni Forest Reserve, located 25km east of Tamale (9°23'26.5"N 0°36'01.4"W), was sampled with four 50 by 50m plots, each with 48 pitfall traps and one Malaise trap. In the forest plots, pitfall traps were grouped into sets of four per sample, yielding 12 samples per plot.

Área de Estudo Sampling took place in three localities near the town of Tamale, northern Ghana. Pitfall and Malaise trapping was preformed in October-November 2022 in Sinsablegbinni Forest Reserve and mango orchards in villages of Kumbungu and Dallung.

Descrição dos passos do método:

  1. After the trapping, the material was stored in 96% ethanol and shipped to Helsinki, Finland, where the focal taxa were sorted and identified to species or morphospecies level. A maximum of ten individuals of each (morpho)species were collected, labelled, measured and stored in the collections of the Finnish Museum of Natural History (Luomus), while the rest of the material was sent back to the country of origin for further inspection. The abbreviations used for morphological measurements in dynamicProperties are from https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Morphological_Measurements.
