Description

TThis dataset was gathered as part of a Scottish Natural Heritage contract in 2013/14. It provides the results of invertebrate surveys designed to inform Site Condition Monitoring at Glenmore Forest SSSI. These surveys targeted the notified narrow-headed ant (Formica exsecta) feature, but other invertebrate taxa were also recorded.

Purpose

Sampling Description

Quality Control

We have a very high level of confidence in this dataset. Where necessary, rare specimens were compared against reference collections, those held in the National Museums Scotland collection and identities confirmed with experts.

Method steps

  1. Surveys targeted the narrow-headed ant (Formica exsecta) feature of Glenmore Forest SSSI. However, other tax were also recorded. A nest search was carried out over an area of 8 square kilometres on 21, 29 and 30 August 2013.
