UK aphid migration percentiles, covariates and model outputs from the Rothamsted Insect Survey's 12.2 m suction-trap network: 1965 to 2018

This dataset contains a measure of aphid arrival, the day of 1% detection (D1D), i.e. the Julian day at which 1% of the yearly aphid abundance has been captured. It is measured for 14 aphid species across the UK, from 1965 to 2018, by the Rothamsted insect survey suction-trap network. It amounts to a total of 881 samples (i.e. trap x year combinations). For all those samples, a measure of 59 covariates as potential predictors are given. They include monthly temperature averages (HadUK grid), monthly precipitation averages (HadUK grid), land-use composition (CORINE), elevation and distance to sea. In addition to this training data, a second part of the dataset consists of those covariate measurements on a 5km x 5km resolution grid of the UK for the years 2015 to 2018. This second part of the dataset offers the possibility of spatiotemporal predictions of the D1D by a model trained on the first part of the dataset. Five coordinates are given: year, northing and easting (of the Ordnance Survey National Grid reference system), latitude and longitude.
