Counts of larval nests of the Glanville fritillary Melitaea cinxia (Linnaeus, 1758) 2015-2016, 2018-2023 Rauer, Fredrikstad municipality, NorwaySampling Description
Study Extent
Potential patches for the Glanville fritillary have been defined based on 1) aerial photo assessment, 2) an overall assessment of the sub-areas in the field and 3) the density of the hostplant Plantago lanceolata.Sampling
Each patch was investegated by searching the area systematically at about three meters intervals. Every larval nest was counted and plotted with GPS.Quality Control
No larval nests were opened to examine the presence or number of larvae, and some may therefore possibly have been empty. The number of patches investigated varies between years.Method steps
- Each larval nest was plotted using Qfield on an Android unit.
