Biodiversity Survey and Inventory: Terrestrial Arthropods of French Polynesia
This NSF-funded project surveys the arthropod fauna of the high islands, with the goal to identify, database, and map diversity of endemic and invasive species. The project will disseminate information in French Polynesia through open houses for K-12 students, workshops for officials and scientists, and products, including exhibits, brochures, CDs, and collections, to be maintained in French Polynesia and elsewhere.
