Example of a Study Proposal Concept Union of Spatiotemporal Insect Diversity Measures in Old-Growth Virginia Forests

Objectives:
  1. To describe a three-dimensional concept of insect diversity -- insect taxa richness in time and space.
  2. To advance a concept of taxon-based biodiversity dependence.
  3. To measure the entomofauna of known old-growth forest stands on National Forests in a region of the Southern Appalachian over 3 years.
  4. To describe and map the spatial and temporal occurrence of old-growth insect fauna.
  5. To map the new diversity indices obtained and to compare them with alternative diversity measure maps.
