Sanders NJ and Shelford VE. 1922. A Quantitative and Seasonal Study of a Pine-Dune Animal Community. Ecology. 3(4):306-320
This is a study of the animal population (largely insects) for a pine hollow region within the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. The study examined quantity of the animal population and the correlation of local, especially vertical, animal distribution with temperature and evaporation. Animal collections were made and temperature and evaporation recorded in a variety of ground levels. There are lists of the number and type of animal species collected for each sampling level. Correlations were made of species and habitat types for given time and weather parameters.
