The record comprises data on rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.) warren surveys conducted within the TGB Osborn (Koonamore) Vegetation Reserve (KVR) from 1977 to 2014 as part of ongoing rabbit control efforts. The Reserve was divided into 400x400 m grid squares (with exceptions for row 5 and column 6), and warrens were identified based on the presence of at least four rabbit holes. In some years, the entire Reserve was surveyed; in others, only a subset was covered. All identified warrens or holes were fumigated and filled following detection.

This is version 2.1 of the TGB Osborn Rabbit Warren data release and supersedes any previous versions. Change log for the collection:

  • V2.1, 2026-02-16; Specht, Miranda Fittock and Arun Singh Ramesh; Ensured dates recorded were in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD. Entries edited, anomalies corrected, and metadata (this file) expanded to better explain the methodology used.
  • V2, 2025-04-29; Alison Specht; Separated data, created and organised data files to comply with FAIR standards, aligned vocabularies with the TERN vocabularies and created comprehensive metadata.  
  • V1, 2008-2014; Russell Sinclair; Digitised field data sheets made available through the AEKOS-TERN portal via html screens only. V1 metadata only available through the AEKOS portal.
