Strand line fauna of beaches on the north and west coasts of Tasmania, Flinders and King Islands

Sandy beaches on the north and west coasts of Tasmania, and on Flinders and King Islands were sample between October 1996 and August 1997. At each of 102 sites the strandline fauna was sampled using pitfall traps set overnight during the low tide period. A number of physical and biotic characteristics of each beach were also measured.

1996年10月至1997年8月期间，研究人员对塔斯马尼亚州北、西海岸以及弗林德斯岛（Flinders Island）、金岛（King Island）的沙质海滩开展了采样工作。在102个采样点位中，均于低潮时段布设陷阱诱捕器（pitfall traps）过夜，以采集岸带动物区系（strandline fauna）样本。同时还对每处海滩的多项物理及生物特征参数进行了测定。
