Data will be recorded onto datasheets (waterproof paper) in the field and scanned in at the first available opportunity. A back-up of the scanned datasheets will be held at the lead institution (University of Canberra). Samples collected in the field will be preserved and processed in accordance with methods outlined below. Samples will be held for the duration of the LTIM Project at theme leaders’ institutions.
