Responses of Upland Forest Invertebrates to Climatic Warming: Understanding the Past to Predict and Manage for the Future.

Description

The study includes lower elevation sites outside the park. Wood-feeding insects were chosen because of the importance of their roll in the forest ecosystem, their relative abundance, and their relative ease to work with. While the original study included carpenter bees, crickets, millipedes and beetles, not all of the target species could be located so the study focuses on wood roaches, a single genus of centipede, and a single genus of termite.
