This dataset contains the background data to the Uganda Malaise trapping 2014 – 2015. We trapped flying insects for a year in tropical forest in Kibale National Park. The sampling itself is described separately, in the associated paper. This dataset contains background data such as the weather, vegetation around our traps, maps and descriptions of the trap sites, and data on the 876 insect samples. It also contains the scripts used to process and clean up the data. The seven files in folder "1 Processed data" will usually be of the greatest interest. They contain ready-to-use data on GPS tracks and waypoints, vegetation, weather, trap sites and samples.
