The data were collected as part of the Chown 4307 project on physiology of springtails. The collections are a record of species presence and absence (real zeros) for the island based on our collections on this expedition. The data are just provided as ones for presence and zeros for absence. Animals were collected by aspiration or by beating of vegetation. Moss turves (of 5-15 cm on each side) were returned to the laboratory and animals extracted from them by modified Tullgren extraction.
