(I) Data compilation from all years of SWAMP collections (2000-2008) in Access database format, organized for compatibility with SWAMP database. Work performed by Scott Roberts in cooperation with Dave Herbst. 1) Physical Habitat Data Entry 2) Biological Data from Benthic Macroinvertebrate Collections Data Entry 3) Meta-data records to specify procedures and changes in all methods used for both field and laboratory protocols over the entire period of data collection (II) Contact coordination between Marco Sigala and Scott Roberts to facilitate data transfer. Database management to organize tables of data into proper structure to make transfer compatible and accurate. Merge SNARL data into SWAMP. (III) Quality control checks of taxonomic lists from early years of collections 1996-1999. Involves examination of every vial of sorted and identified specimen from all samples to verify that the taxonomic designations are correct (performed by Dave Herbst). Deliver taxonomic justified database. (IV) Contact between Dave Herbst and SAFIT/ABL taxonomy groups to ensure compatibility of SNARL data set with SWAMP taxonomic lists. Cross-checking of naming conventions, validation of uncertain identifications, and additions of new taxa.
