Description

Counts of arthropods collected in the Canary Islands (Tenerife) using passive traps (pan, pitfall, Malaise, net and interception) during surveys carried out in 2024 and 2025 at 12 localities across the Teide National Park. Each row represents a taxon counted in a single trap sample. Variables include locality code, UTM coordinates, sampling date and method, taxonomic identification to genus or species, and individual count.
