    • Mosquito Larval Habitat Along Five Altitudinal Transects in South Kona, Island of Hawai'i, 1995

    Metadata Updated: October 29, 2025

    This data release provides information on mosquito larval habitat associated with tree ferns (Cibotium spp) that have been damaged by feral ungulates, ground pools, and tree holes on the SW slopes of Mauna Loa volcano. It also provides assessments of ground cover and habitat degradation by feral ungulates. Data was collected from five transects that fall within or immediately adjacent to the current boundaries of the Kona Unit of Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge. Transects were sampled once between August 8 - August 10, 1995 with 10 m diameter circular plots spaced at 150 m intervals along each transect. Measurements included numbers of standing live and dead tree ferns (Cibotium spp.), numbers of fallen and animal damaged tree ferns, numbers of fallen feral pig damaged tree ferns with and without standing water, numbers of fallen tree ferns with standing water and mosquito larvae, abundance of tree holes and surface water, feral ungulate activity, and general vegetation characteristics of each plot. This XML describes two tabular CSV files: (i) Mosquito Larval Habitat - Habitat Characteristics.CSV, and (ii) Mosquito Larval Habitat - Transect Locations.CSV.
