| Abstract | Objectives Historical
ecological records document the diversity and composition of communities decades
or centuries ago. They can provide a valuable benchmark for comparisons with
modern communities. Historical datasets on plant-animal interactions allow for
modern comparisons that examine the stability of species and interaction
networks over long periods of time and in response to anthropogenic change.
Here we present a curated dataset of interactions between plants and insects in
subarctic Finland, generated from digitizing a historical document from the
late 19th century and updating the taxonomy using currently accepted
nomenclature. Data description The resulting dataset contains 654 records of plant-insect interactions observed during the years 1895–1900, and includes 498 unique interactions between 86 plant species and 173 insect taxa. Syrphidae, Apidae and Muscidae were the insect families involved in most interactions, and interactions were most observed with the plant species Angelica archangelica, Salix caprea, and Chaerophyllum prescottii. Interaction data are available as csv-file and provide a valuable resource on plant-insect interactions over 120 years ago in a high latitude ecosystem that is undergoing rapid climate change. |
