Field Data |
|
It is a condition of undertaking projects at Las Cuevas and a
requirement of the Research Permit that the results of all studies
will be made available; this is normally through scientific
publications or final reports, usually within one year of completing
field work. In addition, we would be grateful if copies of the
following observations and data were also sent to us: • Identifications and collection numbers of all specimens (biological, mineral or archaeological) collected at or within the vicinity of the Las Cuevas. • meteorological and micro-meteorological observations • All wildlife observations, particularly data relating to gender, size and distribution as well as location and behaviour. |
Study Plots |
|
The establishment of study plots may be necessary for some projects.
Their establishment requires prior permission from the Research
Station Manager who will ensure that they are co-ordinated with
other plots, so as to maximise multidisciplinary benefits and
minimise inter-project interference and environmental disturbance. Maps held at Las Cuevas show the position and purpose of all existing plots and a corresponding list of grid location. Plots must be clearly marked using wooden or PVC stakes, depending on the size of the plot. Each plot should be labeled with the project name and the year of establishment. The location must be confirmed with the RSM. When the study is finished and there is no future use planned, then the project leader will be responsible for the removal of any non-biodegradable material such as flagging, labels, tags or lines. |
