Title:

An arthropod inventory and sampling plan as required in the proposal to the University of Hawaii institute for astronomy, an arthropod assessment within selected areas of the Mauna Kea science reserve

Subject:

Wekiu bug Nysius wekiuicola Wekiu bug surveys Mauna Kea Science Reserve

Summary:

Scope of work: For those areas included in the Bishop Museum study, assess current arthropod capture rates relative to those found in the 1982 study. Within representative subset of these areas, investigate seasonal fluctuations in Wekiu bug and where feasible, other arthropods. Identify areas of promising Wekiu bug habitat in the "buffer zone" areas. To the extent feasible, replicate the Bishop Museum study in a sample of promising Wekiu bug habitat within the buffer zone areas. Use data to compare arthropod diversity within the Bishop Museum study area with that in the selected buffer zone areas. Recommend an arthropod management plan for the telescope development areas.
