Description

Pitfall trap data set collected by Toke Thomas Høye, Rikke Reisner Hansen, and Joseph J. Bowden

Sampling Description

Study Extent

Local environmental gradients in permanent plots

Sampling

Pitfall trapping. Please note: Dataset records result from a date range for pitfall traps collecting specimens. Date range is currently mapped to VerbatimDate until correct indexing of date ranges is available in the GBIF portal. Currently eventDate in this dataset is the start-date of the date range.

Quality Control

Difficult specimens checked by taxonomists

Method steps

  1. See associated scientific paper.

Taxonomic Coverages

  1. Coleoptera
    common name: Beetles rank: order
  2. Araneae
    common name: Spiders rank: order

Geographic Coverages

The sampling was carried out at sites at Narsarsuaq, Southern Greenland
