Brief description

This record contains information on the Invertebrate Fauna Survey, from the 25 hectare study site in Robson Creek, Far North Queensland. Information on the total number of individuals of invertebrates sampled from understorey trees have been documented from 10 species of trees, with five individuals per species sampled. Tree species selection was based on the rarity in the study site, i.e. 'common' or 'rare' in the 25 ha plot.

Lineage

Tree species related heterogeneity of insects was examined at the Robson Creek 25 ha site. Fifty individual understorey trees were identified and flying insects associated with their canopies were sampled. Miniature interception traps were deployed over a one week period in April 2013. Five individuals of each of 10 species of trees were targeted. Targeted trees were chosen as generic pairs with one member of the genus being among the more abundant species on the 25 ha plot, the other being 'rare' on the plot. Each pair of species belonged to a different botanical family. Species targeted were: Elaeocarpaceae, Sapindaceae, Myrtaceae, Araliaceae and Lauraceae.

Method: Flying insect sampling- Miniature interception traps were deployed over a one week period in April 2013. Five control sites that were not associated with any particular canopy were also sampled. Samples were returned, in ethanol, to Brisbane where they are now being processed within the Arthropod Biodiversity Laboratory at Griffith University. Initially we will look at gross differences at the ordinal level and decide what more detailed sorting is justified after that. Five individuals of each of 10 species of trees were targeted.
