Compilation of Macquarie Island invertebrate survey data 1986-2010

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

A compilation for historical data on Macquarie Island invertebrate data from the following surveys - 1986/87 (Penny Greenslade) - 2009/10 (Mark Stevens) - 1993/94 (Disney) - 1991-1993 (Davies and Melbourne) Invertebrate community assemblages.

Description

These were community assessments undertaken at historic sites (i.e. previously trapped in 1980s, 1990s and 2000. Sites were relocated to the best of our ability and resurveyed.

New sites were established. Data comprise species presence and abundance per site, potentially with additional site information (e.g. environmental conditions). Listed below are some of the data sources for this data compilation: Greenslade, P. (1987).
