Pulu Keeling National Park Island-wide Survey (IWS) Waypoint Survey

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

The dataset contains distribution data for the Yellow Crazy Ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) and scale insects (eg Parasaissetia nigra, ,i>Dysmicoccus finitimus), collected during the Waypoint Survey component of the Pulu Keeling National Park Island-wide Survey (IWS). The aim of the Waypoint Survey is to monitor densities of the invasive Yellow Crazy Ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes) and to detect establishment of any new scale insect species. The other components of the IWS (Transit Survey and Ink Card and Nocturnal Survey) are recorded in separate submissions.
