Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 45 14 July (cont.) I should have held it down. Steve could have used it for his metabolite studies. I finished checking the lines by 1130. 1330 Spent the afternoon working on sticky boards and discussing the best way of processing the reading of the boards. It was decided that Hespenhet method (by S. MacLean) is too strict mainly because none is able to accurately place the insects into the designated groups. (Including MacLean) So, a new grouping of Hemolocas - Large & Small, and Brochycera will be used. This will increase the accuracy and speed up the laborious process of reading the boards. Also, more transects were planned since they give good data on micro habitat selection, separation and relative abundance of adult tipulids. This is a good idea. 1900 We prepared the nets for the aerial traps designed by MacLean and erected last week by all of us on the Beach Ridge micromet area. We (Tim Steve and I) placed rubber tubing in the back edges of the nets so they could be easily fastened to the net frames. Steve, Edie and I set out for Central Marsh to collect drifts, take soil samples, and put up the nets. We ran into a flock of G. Plover, Piedal Sandpiper, and Red-backed Sandpipers and took 3 G. Plovers. I got two of them. Furtheron, about 400gbs S. Andent
