- Statement
- From 20/5/2009 to 27/8/2009, the authors quantified insect visitation to flowering plants in 10 birch dominated woods either grazed or ungrazed by cattle. Insect specimens were collected along two standardised transects (50 x 2m; 15m apart) The species identity and frequency of all insect-flower interactions was recorded. Insect flower visitors were collected (netting/pooter/direct capture with vial) in situ and killed with ethyl acetate prior to transport to the laboratory at CEH. Once there specimens were identified under microscope and assigned to a binomial species (wherever possible) by CEH staff following standard keys or where binomial species identification proved impractical (taxonomically difficult groups or damaged specimens) they were assigned to a recognisable taxonomic unit (RTU). The identity and count of each insect specimen were entered directly into an Excel spreadsheet, data were checked for typographic errors by the lead investigator, and then data were aggregated to insect species by field site levels using 'pivot table' function in Excel to create a flat table. This dataset was then formatted to '.csv', metadata provided and archived in EIDC.
