Quality Control
We have a very high level of confidence in this dataset. The recorder and/or determiner is a highly experienced ecologist. Where necessary, rare specimens were compared against reference collections, those held in the National Museums Scotland collection and identities confirmed with experts.Method steps
- Surveys targeted the beetle assemblage feature of Glen Tarff SSSI and involved active searches, which were completed at four locations with appropriate microhabitats on 15/07/2015. The searches involved surveying a variety of niches within the arboreal habitat such as dead trunks, aerial deadwood, rot holes fruiting fungi and loose bark. The hoof fungus, Fomes fomentarius, was targeted during the survey.
