The shared data contain information on predator-prey interaction metrics such as the vulnerability of certain prey, as well as the trophic redundancy of predators in these networks. Further, the datasets contain species richnesses and abundance of Carabid predators, herbivores, soil fauna.

Include data files are:
Data_submission_BetaDiv_community.csv, 19 rows × 8 columns
Data_submission_BetaDiv_dietTurnover.csv, 124 rows × 7 columns
Data_submission_analysisI_and_II.csv, 171 rows × 8 columns
Data_submission_analysisIII.csv, 19 rows × 30 columns

Besides diet based metrics, the file "Data_submission_analysisIII.csv" contains arthropod community sampling data (pitfall, soil extraction, sweep netting), whereas the file "Data_submission_analysisI_and_II.csv" only contains information on Carabids diets, and the individual that were subject to gut content analysis. Based on these individuals, both the turnover in the communities per se ("Data_submission_BetaDiv_community.csv), as well as their diet turnover was assessed (" Data_submission_BetaDiv_dietTurnover.csv").
