Resumen de Invertebrate studies at S'Albufera Natural Park
Nick Riddiford, Simon Mckelvey, Keith Bowey
Work was begun in spring 1989 to obtain en inventory of invertebrates present in the Park, to investigate the composition of invertebrate fauna in relation to habitat and to physical and seasonal variables, and to establish methodology designed to evaluate long-term changes in numbers and species compositions. Groups chosen for study were arachnids, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Odonata and freshwater invertebrates, syrphids (Oiptera) and terrestrial molluscs. The work was part of Project S'Albufera, a monitoring programme for long-term environmental change, organised by Earthwatch Europe.
