Bite force is a decisive performance trait in animals because it plays a role for numerous life history components such as food consumption, inter- and intraspecific interactions, and reproductive success. Bite force has been studied across a wide range of vertebrate species, but only for 32 species of insects, the most speciose animal lineage. Here we present the insect bite force database with bite force measurements for 654 insect species covering 476 genera, 111 families, and 13 orders with body lengths ranging from 3.76 to 180.12 mm. In total we recorded 1906 bite force series from 1290 specimens, and, in addition, present basal head, body, and wing metrics. As such, the database will facilitate a wide range of studies on the characteristics, predictors, and macroevolution of bite force in the largest clade of the animal kingdom and may serve as a basis to further our understanding of macroevolutionary processes in relation to bite force across all biting metazoans.
咬合力是动物的决定性表现特征，因为它在许多生活史组成部分中发挥作用，如食物消耗、种内和种间相互作用以及繁殖成功。咬合力已经在广泛的脊椎动物物种中进行了研究，但只针对昆虫这一动物谱系中最多样化的 32 个物种。在这里，我们展示了昆虫咬合力数据库，其中包含 654 种昆虫的咬合力测量值，涵盖了 476 属、111 科和 13 个目，体长范围从 3.76 到 180.12 毫米。我们总共从 1290 个标本中记录了 1906 个咬合力系列，此外，还提供了基础头部、身体和翅膀的度量标准。因此，该数据库将有助于广泛研究昆虫王国中最大的类群的咬合力特征、预测因素和宏观进化，并可能成为进一步了解与所有咬噬后生动物的咬合力相关的宏观进化过程的基础。
