Environmental and location data for Malaise trap samples in the leakage belt of the Gola Rainforest National Park, Sierra Leone, November to December 2021

This dataset contains information about the locations and local environmental conditions of 123 Malaise trap samples collected in November-December 2021 in the 908 km2 forested ‘leakage belt’ buffer zone of the Gola Rainforest National Park (GRNP) in eastern Sierra Leone, where cocoa, a driver of deforestation, is the main cash crop. Each trap was set out for five days with >99% ethanol. The samples were transported from Sierra Leone to the UK, where they have been sent for metabarcoding for arthropods (using Leray2 PCR primers). The work was supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (Grant NE/S014063/1). Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/161315e4-71c1-481d-906c-149ab2e9705c

Statement
This file came into being from handwritten field datasheets from when we set out the Malaise traps. To ensure accurate recording and labelling of samples, all handwritten field sheets were transcribed to a spreadsheet on the day of collection, while sites were still fresh in the memory, and samples were clearly and multiply labelled before handing over to the sequencing service.
