I am looking at effects of insecticide application on forest arthropods and would like to test the influence of various species traits (e.g. phenology, voltinism, dispersal ability, feeding type, habitat stratum...) on these impacts. I am looking for such information for various groups of temperate forest arthropods with an emphasis on Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Coleoptera. Thank you!
There is a database on soil invertebrates:

Several documents are available:

Dear Thiago,
Unfortunately the database you indicated seems unavailable at the mentioned address. It has probably shifted to another one. Could you please check for that?
Dear Thiago and Jean-François,
First thank you very much for your answers. I am going to dig in these databases now.
The second database is available using this link: http://biotraits.ucla.edu/
Access to the data is available from the associated publication (link right below the title in the pdf reader).
