Depth and velocity measurements in the South Saskatchewan River, Canada (2015-2017)
Data were collected in 2015, 2016 and 2017 to provide information on the distribution of flow depth and depth-averaged flow velocity at cross-sections on the South Saskatchewan River, Canada. Data were obtained using a Sontek M9 acoustic Doppler current profiler (aDcp)...
Insect-Flower Networks
The dataset contains information on the species identity and frequency of all insect-flower interactions recorded in ten birch (Betula spp.) woodland fragments surveyed in 2009 (May-August). The data were collected in two transects (50 x 2m; 15m apart and at least 50m...
