Summary

This data release includes metadata and tabular data that documents the endangered orangeblack Hawaiian damselfly (Megalagrion xanthomelas) at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park during 2016-2017. Data sets document (1) numbers of damselflies observed during surveys, (2) habitat characteristics of anchialine pools at which damselflies were surveyed, (3) substrates on which female damselflies exhibited egg-laying behavior, and (4) continuous 30-day measurements of temperature and salinity taken at four pools.

Purpose

Data were collected to document the abundance and life history aspects of the Orangeblack Hawaiian damselfly at Koloko-Honokohau National Historical Park during 2016-2017. This park protects one of the remaining populations of this endangered damselfly on the western coast of Hawaii Island. Results from this study are important because they will provide park managers with a better understanding of this population and how numbers of individuals fluctuate over the course of the year.
