dataset_eml_abstractheader

    Survey insects to establish site specific data on species abundance and diversity, and to establish permanent monitoring sites for long term trend information. Document insect biodiversity with respect to elevation and habitat. Document taxonomic diversity and abundance of selected insect groups, especially Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, and Coleoptera.
