Haleakala National Park Shrubland Invertebrate Inventory Dataset
Kozar K and Krushelnycky P. Haleakala National Park Shrubland Invertebrate Inventory Dataset
Subalpine shrubland and alpine aeolian ecosystems occur throughout Hawaii and represent important habitats for native species. On Maui, shrubland and alpine ecosystems occur in and around Haleakala National Park (HALE) on the mountain's upper west slope, upper south slope, and within the crater. During 2001-2004 an inventory of arthropods was conducted on the upper west slope and summit of Haleakala National Park, using three systematic sampling techniques and limited opportunistic hand collecting. This report catalogues all arthropod species collected in the course of the inventory, and when possible, provides additional information relevant to the species listed. In addition, inventory completeness and the relative effectiveness of the different sampling techniques are accessed.
