Fall 2016 crab population monitoring: mid-marsh and creek bank abundance based on crab hole counts at GCE marsh, monitoring sites 1-10
This data set is the Fall 2016 estimate of crab densities at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Crab abundance was determined by counting the number of crab holes within a 625 cm^2 quadrat and converting the counts to number per square meter. Counts were made in the mid-marsh and creek bank zones (n = 4 per zone) at GCE sites 1 through 10. Note that this census method does not differentiate which species made a particular hole and therefore only estimates total burrowing crab abundance, potentially including species Uca pugnax, Uca minax, Uca pugilator, Armases cinereum, Eurytium limosum and Sesarma reticulatum. Crab holes that are not actively maintained are quickly covered by tidal activity and other sediment disturbances, therefore plugged holes were assumed to be unoccupied and excluded from the counts.
Mollusc population abundance monitoring: Fall 2017 mid-marsh and creekbank infaunal and epifaunal mollusc abundance based on collections from GCE marsh, monitoring sites 1-10
This data set is the Fall 2017 estimate of infaunal and epifaunal mollusc abundance at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Species abundance was determined by hand-collecting all the infaunal and epifaunal molluscs from within quadrats of known area in mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n = 4 quadrats per zone) at all sites. The molluscs were returned to the lab, fixed in ethanol, transferred to and preserved in ethanol, counted and measured (size data is reported separately). The counts were converted to number per square meter. Gastropod species are listed first, followed by bivalve species. Size distribution data for these collections may be found in the GCE-LTER data set INV-GCEM-1807a.

Mollusc population size distribution monitoring: Fall 2018 mid-marsh and creekbank infaunal and epifaunal mollusc size distributions based on collections from GCE marsh monitoring sites 1-10
This data set is the Fall 2018 report of infaunal and epifaunal mollusc species size distributions at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Infaunal and epifaunal molluscs were hand-collected from within quadrats of known area from mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n = 4 quadrats per zone) at all sites. The molluscs were returned to the lab, preserved in ethanol, measured and counted (count data is reported separately). Length of each measurable individual was determined using calipers or an ocular micrometer mounted in a stereomicroscope. Species abundance and density data for these collections may be found in the GCE-LTER data set INV-GCEM-1907. Numbers of individuals of each species in the abundance data file may not correspond exactly to the numbers of individuals in the size data file because some individuals may not have been measureable.

Relative density variations of common vole population based on index transect, Septfontaines - Le Souillot, France (1990-2000)
<p>Transects were walked from village to village along a transect line. Common vole (<em>Microtus arvalis</em>) activity indices were recorded in every ten pace interval from October 1990 to April 2000. In 2014, the geographical coordinates of each interval has been computed by spatial interpolation based on georeferenced maps. Therefore, users must be aware that individual locations of intervals are unprecise, but not the general bearing of the transect in the landscape and interval succession. See articles published for reference and more details.</p> <p>During the same time span, small mammmals (including common voles) were sampled using live-trapping, see <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6997316">10.5281/zenodo.6997316</a></p> <p><strong>FILE DESCRIPTION:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7544358/files/db.txt?download=1">db.txt </a>index transect file</p> <ul> <li>name: transect name</li> <li>date: on eight digits, '19921014' reads 14/10/1992</li> <li>ID: interval ID = number (within a given transect at a given date)</li> <li>Habitat: (indicative) the habitat category crossed.

Spring 2003 crab population monitoring: mid-marsh and creekbank abundance based on crab hole counts at GCE marsh, monitoring sites 1-10
This data set is the Spring 2003 estimate of crab densities at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Crab abundance was determined by counting the number of crab holes within a 625 cm^2 quadrat and converting the counts to number per square meter.

Crab population monitoring: Spring 2001 mid-marsh and creekbank crab abundances based on hole counts at GCE marsh, monitoring sites 1-10
There are a number of crab species that inhabit the vegetated intertidal marshes of the GCE-LTER permanent monitoring sites. The most frequently encountered species are Uca pugnax, U. pugilator, U. minax, Sesarma reticulatum, Armases cinereum, and Eurytium limosum. These species are highly mobile at various tide stages and seek the safety of burrows when not foraging. Their behavior patterns make it difficult to accurately assess their abundance within the constraints of our current monitoring activities. To do so would require a sampling program dedicated solely to that unique end. This study was designed to use counts of crab holes as a relatively quick and easy way to estimate total crab densities at the GCE-LTER sites. Such a method does not differentiate which species made a particular hole and therefore only estimates total crab abundance. Plugged holes were excluded from the counts. Our initial data yielded an average across all sites of 239 crabs (all species) m^-2. Our initial conclusion is that crab hole counts allow the estimation of crab densities and yields estimates comparable to those methods requiring extensive time and effort. This method will be used to estimate crab densities in the Spring and Fall (yearly) within the GCE-LTER domain.
