  2. Alfried Vogler, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Department of Life Sciences. Imperial College London.
  3. Jovana M. Jasso-Martínez. PhD student at IB-UNAM.

Status of project:
Specimens were collected from September to November 2018 in three different plots within the station, each having 10 pitfall, 2 FIT and 1 malaise traps. We also collect with sweeping nets from the 1st to the 5th of September 2018.

Available specimens and data:
  1. Samples: number of plots x traps x sampling times, number of specimens
  2. Reference specimen set: number of morphospecies
  3. DNA extractions: number of extractions, single or bulk
  4. DNA sequencing: genes sequenced, sequencing methodology
  5. metabarcoding: marker used, number of samples
  6. Sequence data: (Genbank accession xx-xx)
