Data corresponding to the calibration and validation of overland flow detectors presented in in paper "Autonomous shallow flow runoff detector for hillslope hydrological studies".-- Datos de calibración y validación de detectores de escorrentía presentados en el artículo "Autonomous shallow flow runoff detector for hillslope hydrological studies"., This is the underlaying data for the manuscript which describes the development, calibration and validation of an autonomous overland flow detector (OFD) for the measurement and recording of shallow runoff depth at varying recording intervals based on measurement of runoff water electrical conductivity (EC). Using electronic components easily available and of moderate cost, approximately367€ per unit, the proposed device can operate for a broad range of surface overland flow with EC from 0 to 435 µS cm-1 with a regular charge using a small built-in cell panel. It was originally intended for use in experiments related to runoff connectivity and efficiency of vegetated buffer strips at hillslope scale. Results show how, once calibrated for the expected range of runoff EC, the proposed device can provide reliable and replicable measurements among different units with an average root mean square error of 3mm. When deployed in the validation test under rainfall simulation with water of high EC (435 µS cm-1)it allowed the determination of the evolution of the change in runoff starting time and the duration of the hydrograph after the end of rainfall in individual points as a function of slope length. In this test the differences in depth among OFD was not significant, since being lower than 4 mm overlaps with the average measurement error among units. This result highlights the need for careful interpretation of the measured depth in relation to the equipment measurement error in spatial variability of shallow flow. Further improvements will concentrate on remote communication for downloading data via a cell phone network, and additional ruggedness and autonomy for long-term deployment in the field under very cloudy conditions., AGL2015-65036-C3-1-R (Spanish Government), Peer reviewed

Variables Description Ring Number of the ring of the GPS-tracked burrowing owl DateTimeUTC Date and time in dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss (UTC) Latitude Latitude in decimal degrees Longitude Longitude in decimal degrees Altitude Altitude (in meters) taken from the GPS data logger Code Day or Night Airam Rodríguez (airamrguez@ebd.csic.es; airamrguez@gmail.com), José Hernán Sarasola (sarasola@exactas.unlpam.edu.ar), 18 burrowing owls were tagged with GPS-data loggers (Catnip Technologies, USA) on Teflon harnesses as back mounts. The original case of GPS data-loggers was removed, and batteries were replaced by smaller rechargeable ones (100-150 mAh). Loggers were put in a heat-shrink tube for waterproofing. The final size was 25 × 43 × 10 mm and weights ranged between 12.8 and 16.4 g. GPS data-loggers were programmed with two settings: 1) loggers recording a position per minute until battery flat; and 2) loggers recording a position per minute during the night, while switched off during daylight hours (from 11:00 to 20:00 or from 8:00 to 17:00 UTC). Loggers started to log data the night following capture. All data loggers were operative at the moment of recapture or recovery, but two of them failed to provide useful data, Peer reviewed

This work provides open access to the data compiled for the following paper Marcelo Bruno Pessôa, Fernanda Alves-Martins, Paulo De Marco Junior and Joaquín Hortal. Unveiling the drivers of local dung beetle species richness in the Neotropics, Journal of Biogeography 2021. See the original paper for more details., This database is based on a survey of published literature on dung beetle communities to extract information on species richness, abundance, type of bait, type of habitat, and sampling effort (as hours/pitfall) for different localities, discarding sites with low sampling effort. We used environmental variables to account for six possible explanations of species richness gradients: productivity, water–energy, ambient energy, habitat heterogeneity, resource heterogeneity, and seasonality, as well as spatial data to account for other geographically-structured phenomena. In total the database contains data for 300 localities., This work was supported by the projects ‘Predicting diversity variations across scales through process-based models linking community ecology and biogeography’ (CNPq PVE 314523/2014-6), and SCENIC - ‘Scaling the effects of niche and interaction dynamics on the ecological and evolutionary outcomes of coexistence’ (PID2019-106840GB-C21, funded by AEI/FEDER, UE).

The dataset reports 1) Information about the sown native plant species in which was collected, sampling date and chrysopid specimens (id, taxonomical identification and sex). 2) Presence or absence of the different pollen types identified in C. lucasina adults. 3) The pollen type most frequently identified in the alimentary canal of C. lucasina adults. 4) Presence or absence of the pollen of Biscutella auriculata and Capsella bursa-pastoris plant species. 5) Fungal spore identified on C. lucasina adults: Alternaria sp., Cladosporium sp., Spore1 sp. and Spore2 sp.). 6) Percentage of the alimentary canal occupied by the pollen in each alimentary canal segments, Here we provide data on the alimentary canal contents of Chrysoperla lucasina (Lacroix, 1936) specimens by transparency method. The 109 C. lucasina specimens were collected using an InsectaZooka aspirator in the experimental farm in 2016/2017. The dataset contains 52 columns (=variables) and 109 lines (=cases).

(Rscript.R): R-script for estimating the effects of boat noise on fish movement from the detection pattern provided by a fixed array of acoustic receivers (input.RData): Example of input data for the Rscript.R (AllData): Folder containing all data (receiver detections by individual) used in our work, The datasets are suplementary materials for the article "A State-Space model to derive motorboat noise effects on fish movement from acoustic tracking data". Motorboat noise is recognized as a major source of marine pollution, however little is known about its ecological consequences on coastal systems. We developed a State Space Model (SSM) that incorporates an explicit dependency on motorboat noise to derive its effects on the movement of resident fish that transition between two behavioural states (swimming vs. hidden). To explore the performance of our model, we carried out an experiment where free-living Serranus scriba were tracked with acoustic tags, while motorboat noise was simultaneously recorded. We fitted the generated tracking and noise data into our SSM and explored if the noise generated by motorboats passing at close range affected the movement pattern and the probability of transition between the two states using a Bayesian approach. Our results suggest high among individual variability in movement pattern and transition between states, as well as in fish response to the presence of passing motorboats. These findings suggest that the effects of motorboat noise on fish movement are complex and require the precise monitoring of large numbers of individuals. Our SSM provides a methodology to address such complexity and can be used for future investigations to study the effects of noise pollution on marine fish., Marie S.

The comparison of plants dispersed by endozoochory between two migratory waterbirds (gulls and storks) within the Doñana ricefields showed no community differences between species. From 21 plant taxa, eight plant species were considered weeds, four alien species and only two fleshy fruit. Endozoochory by migratory waterbirds has major implications for plant distributions in a rapidly changing world, Peer reviewed
