Description: This dataset includes the abundance of two species of terrestrial leech collected at multiple sites at the SAFE project in Sabah, Malaysia. Leech collections took place over two seasons, one in the dry season of 2015 and one in the wet season of 2016. For each of the sites, four repeated visits took place and 20 minute searches were conducted within the boundaries of 25 m2 vegetation plots. As these sites have been subjected to differennt degrees of current and historic degradation, the vegetation structure data is also included for each site. For a subset of the leech sites there is corresponding mammal detection data from camera traps across the landscape, which is also included in this dataset.Project: This dataset was collected as part of the following SAFE research project: The effects of rainforest fragmentation on mammal community assemblages using leech blood-meal analysisFunding: These data were collected as part of research funded by: NERC (Standard grant , NE/K016148/1)This dataset is released under the CC-BY 4.0 licence, requiring that you cite the dataset in any outputs, but has the additional condition that you acknowledge the contribution of these funders in any outputs.XML metadata: GEMINI compliant metadata for this dataset is available hereFiles: This consists of 1 file: Drinkwater2019_leech_occurrence.v2.xlsxDrinkwater2019_leech_occurrence.v2.xlsxThis file contains dataset metadata and 4 data tables:Leech abundance and survey-covariates 2015 (described in worksheet abundance2015)Description: This dataset has the abundance of all the leech individuals of both species collected during surveys in 2015 between February and June. The number of leech collected is split by species of leech and each of the four visits per site. For each survey at a site the associated survey-specific covariates are included. These are the associated effort (number of people collecting the leeches) and the date the visits happened (julian day since the beginning of the year).
