KFDBAM_ANU_BISHOP
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
The dataset is the first comprehensive list of the invertebrate species occurring on subantarctic Bishop Island.
Bishop and Clerk Islets is a rocky platform of roughly 3 ha area, which lies 33 km south of Macquarie Island.
15 invertebrate species were collected by hand, or extracted (using Tullgren funnels) from vegetation, soil and material from nest burrows and penguin colonies.
14 of the invertebrate species collected also occur on Macquarie Island.
This work was carried out as part of ASAC project 104 (ASAC_104).
