Diamond Cholla Open Dataset July 2023

Diamond cholla camera trap and survey datasets for July 2023 field season in the Mojave desert.Abstract: A case study of plant-animal interactions with<i> </i><i>Cylindropuntia ramosissima</i> in the Mojave desert, California to identify its visitor guild and factors that influence visitation and flowering. Camera trap deployments were paired with visual observations for a total of n=40. Cacti height negatively correlated with vertebrate visitation at the camera trapped site. Evidence of potential competition between pollinator species was observed. Height, branching number, and density correlated positively with flowering number at survey sites.Updated dataset: January 02 2024莫哈韦沙漠2023年7月野外季钻石团扇（Diamond cholla）红外相机陷阱（camera trap）与调查数据集 摘要：本研究针对加利福尼亚州莫哈韦沙漠中的分枝圆柱掌（*Cylindropuntia ramosissima*）开展植物-动物相互作用案例研究，旨在明确其访客类群以及影响造访与开花的相关因素。本研究采用红外相机陷阱布设与目视观测相结合的采样方案，共计完成n=40组采样。在布设红外相机的样点中，仙人掌株高与脊椎动物造访频次呈显著负相关关系。研究观测到传粉昆虫类群间存在潜在种间竞争的相关证据。在调查样点中，仙人掌株高、分枝数与种群密度均与开花数量呈显著正相关关系。 数据集更新时间：2024年1月2日
