Community Ecology of Land Snails Survey related data sets


PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Terrestrial gastropods and walking sticks were sampled at 40 points on the Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot at El Verde twice annually from 1991-2002 to investigate long-term population and community dynamics and response to disturbance.

Densities

Densities of invertebrates and apparency of plant species are estimated to investigate the effects of disturbance on long-term population dynamics, habitat associations, and spatial distributions.

Habitat

To investigate habitat associations of terrestrial invertebrates, apparency of 17 plant groups (species, genera, families) from 0-3 m from the ground was estimated at each of the sampling localities where invertebrates were surveyed.
