The Butterfly presence and abundance are sampled using transect counts using a modified “Pollard Walk” scheme. Transects are walked between 10 am and 4 pm on relatively calm and moderately warm weather days.Buterfly+Surveys+on+the+MCSE.csvNone361\ncolumn,no"\https://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datatables/689.csvsample_dateSample Date in the Eastern Time zoneYYYY-MM-DD11987-4-18sitesite sampledsite sampledtreatmentfield treatmentfield treatmentreplicatefield replicatefield replicatetransect_typetype of transect performedtype of transect performedtransect_length_mlength of the transectmeterrealtransect_walking_time_mintime it took to walk the transectminutereallocal_start_timelocal time the transect was startedhh:mm:ss11987-4-18start_temperature_cair temperature at the start of the transectcelsiusrealcloud_coverestimated cloud cover in percentdimensionlessrealwind_speed_avg_kphaverage wind speed at the start of the transect measured with a Kestrel wind speed meterkilometersPerHourrealwind_speed_max_kphmaximum wind speed recorded on the Kestrel meter at the start of the transectkilometersPerHourrealfield_speciespreliminary field species identificationpreliminary field species identificationfamilyfamily of the butterfly species observedfamily of the butterfly species observedspeciesspecies of the butterfly were observed and corrected for errors from the field identification.species of the butterfly were observed and corrected for errors from the field identification.common_nameThe common name of the butterfly observedThe common name of the butterfly observedcommentscomments about the observationcomments about the observationhttps://lter.kbs.msu.edu/datatables/692Kellogg Biological Station LTER: CLE Butterfly Survey (KBS142-002)Different prairie restoration schemes in the Common Land Experiment will affect the abundance and presence of butterflies.
