  • TraitBrazil.csv

    This dataset contains trait information used to characterize the macroinvertebrates in our study, for the Brazilian forest plot. The dataset includes seven trait groups: aquatic developmental stage, maximum body size, locomotion, dispersal mode, respiration mode, feeding group, and cohort production interval. These trait groups are further divided into 32 distinct categories.

  • TraitFrance.csv

    This dataset contains trait information used to characterize the macroinvertebrates in our study, for the French forest plot. The dataset includes seven trait groups: aquatic developmental stage, maximum body size, locomotion, dispersal mode, respiration mode, feeding group, and cohort production interval. These trait groups are further divided into 32 distinct categories.

  • TraitIndia.csv

    This dataset contains trait information used to characterize the macroinvertebrates in our study, for the Indian forest plot. The dataset includes seven trait groups: aquatic developmental stage, maximum body size, locomotion, dispersal mode, respiration mode, feeding group, and cohort production interval. These trait groups are further divided into 32 distinct categories.

  • Fig_1_Data.csv

    This dataset contains values of taxonomic and functional β-diversity for each study site, along with their respective components: species richness difference vs. turnover (taxonomic), and functional richness difference vs. functional turnover (functional). Used to generate Fig. 1.

    Fig_1_Data.csv

  • EnvironmentalVariables.csv

    This dataset includes physical and environmental characteristics of water-filled tree holes (WTHs), such as water depth, height, opening size, hole origin and orientation, circumference at breast height, WTH type, and water volume. It also contains physico-chemical parameters, nutrient concentrations (ammonium, nitrogen, phosphate, sulfate, chloride), CDOM, Chlorophyll-A, turbidity, and dry organic matter (FPOM, CPOM, total).

  • CommunitiesFinal.csv

    This dataset describes the animal community composition sampled from 35 water-filled tree holes (WTHs) per site. It includes abundance and taxonomic identification (to morphospecies level) of aquatic macroinvertebrates and Chordata.

  • Fig_2_Data.csv

    This dataset includes results from variation partitioning analysis used to assess the relative contributions of environmental and spatial factors to taxonomic and functional β-diversity and their components across biogeographic regions. It contains site-level values for pure and shared effects of predictors. Used to generate Fig_2.
