Potential Effects of the Loss of Native Grasses on Grassland Invertebrate Diversity in Southeastern Australia

Table 1

Morphospecies richness (both capture methods) for each sampling area and period and two combinations of periods^a.

Sampling period(s)	Sampling area				Range
	EP	EA	WP	WA	Number	%
February 2007	88	61	102	76	41	67
July 2007	45	36	49	36	13	36
October 2007	155	136	147	162	26	19
February 2008	84	61	88	74	27	44
2007 (3 periods)	230	185	235	219	50	27
February 2007 and 2008	131	97	150	123	53	55

Captures are included from both methods, but if a species was captured by both methods in the same sampling area and period it was only counted once. Similarly for combinations of periods, if the same species was captured in the same sampling area in different periods, it was only counted once.
Percentage difference between the smallest and largest richness values in each sampling period or combination of periods.
