The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,857 records.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

No Description available
|Title||Host speciﬁcity of xylem- and phloem-feeding herbivores (Auchenorrhyncha) in a New Guinea lowland rain forest|
The personnel involved in the project:
Nymphs were hand-collected from the foliage of 14 target plant species. Sampling effort corresponded to approximately 1500 m2 of foliage inspected per plant species and included numerous individual trees
|Study Extent||500 ha of rainforest surrounding the village of Ohu. Collections made twice per week between Feb 2007 - Jul 2009.|
Method step description:
- The study area is situated in a mosaic of primary and secondary lowland forests near Ohu village, 200 m asl, Papua New Guinea (PNG) with approximately 200 tree species per hectare
