Compilation of Macquarie Island invertebrate survey data 1986-2010

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. 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). Report on invertebrate fieldwork Macquarie Island, December 1986 – January 1987. Unpublished report. Department of Primary Industry, Parks, Water and the Environment. Tasmania, Australia. Established 8 invertebrate monitoring sites in four vegetation communities in the northernmost part of the island. Pitfalls and Litter, hand collecting over a ~ 5 week spring/summer period.Disney (91) - Reported in Stevens et al. 2010. Resampled four of Greenslade's sites. Pitfalls large and small over a year. Davies, K.F. and Melbourne, B.A. (1999). 'Statistical models of invertebrate distribution on Macquarie Island: a tool to assess climate change and local human impacts'. Polar Biology 21: 240–250. Sampled 69 sites across the island in different vegetation communities over a 6 week summer period. Litter, pitfalls, yellow pans and handcollecting. Stevens, M., Hudson, P., Greenslade, P. and Potter, M. (2010). Report on invertebrate monitoring of long term field sites on Macquarie Island 2009/2010. Unpublished report. South Australia: South Australia Museum. Resampled seven of Greenslade's sites, plus a further eight over a 5 week spring/summer. Litter, yellow pans, pitfalls.

本数据集为麦夸里岛（Macquarie Island）无脊椎动物（invertebrate）历史调查数据的整合汇编，涉及以下四项调查：1986/87年度（Penny Greenslade）、2009/10年度（Mark Stevens）、1993/94年度（Disney）以及1991-1993年度（Davies与Melbourne）。

数据集涵盖无脊椎动物群落组成评估数据，此类评估均在历史样地开展——即分别于1980年代、1990年代和2000年代完成过采样的样地。研究团队已尽可能重新定位上述历史样地并开展重采样，同时新增了部分采样样地。数据内容包含各采样点的物种存在情况与丰度，可能附带额外的样地相关信息（如环境条件）。
