Methods

The methods followed in the creation of the dataset, including description of field, laboratory and processing steps, and quality control procedures

Current Methods

• Sample analysis
  Started: 1991-05-01
  

  Samples are sorted, identified and stored at the Entomology Research Laboratory.

Past Methods (No longer in use)

• Light trap
  Started: 1991-05-01
  Ended: 1995-11-01

  A single light trap is placed in or near the center of four circular (20 m diameter) plots at each elevation.
• Light trap operation
  Started: 1991-05-01
  Ended: 1995-11-01

  Light traps are operated once a week from April/May to October.
• Sample elevations
  Started: 1991-05-01
  Ended: 1995-11-01

  Three elevations are sampled: 400 m (Proctor Maple Research Center), 640 m (Underhill State Park) and 1160 m (summit).
• Current elevation use
  Started: 1994-11-01
  Ended: 1995-11-01

  The 1160 m elevation is discontinued, a 715 m site is added, and the 400 and 640 m sites are continued.
