The full1 macroinvertebrate database is available for download as a geopackage (gpkg) file. See the technical tips tab for a summary of the tables and their relationships.
mwbugs_taxonomy_tables.xlsx is an excel file containing only the taxonomy tables of the database.
bug_database_functions.R contains several helper functions for working with the database in R. (calcMonthDate(), calcMonthNo(), codeTaxonomy(), checkTaxonNames(), taxoncodeToShortcode(), plot_lumar(), load_all_mwbugs_table()).
mwbugs.bib is a bibtex file containing all references used by the user’s manual and the data explorer app (in preparing download data documentation).
All photos listed in the site_photos table can be downloaded from the server using the following script (in R), and placed in subdirectories matching those listed in the photo_sources table.
