Download or read book Biodiversity Survey of Moths of Fundy National Park written by A. W. Thomas and published by Halifax, N.S. : Parks Canada, Atlantic Region. This book was released on 1999 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is an introduction to the results of a five-year co-operative study into the feasibility of using moths as biological indicators of ecosystem health in Fundy National Park, New Brunswick. The report describes the moth sampling methodology used, describes and maps the sampling site locations, and provides details of the floristic composition of the sites. Study results presented demonstrate the patterns of seasonal distributions of both individuals and species, and the pattern of species emergence throughout the year for each of four years at two of the sites. Based on the similarities in the patterns between and within sites and years, a protocol for conducting further moth surveys is also proposed. Appendices include tables showing vegetation species composition at the study sites and graphs showing numbers of individual moths and species observed in research traps.
