info@taxonfoundation.com http://www.taxonfoundation.com 2025-04-29 eng Since 2019, Taxon Expeditions has organized 'urban expeditions' in greenspaces in Amsterdam, the aim of which has been to form teams of both community scientists from the neighbourhood and professional biodiversity experts and to carry out high-quality explorations of invertebrates of urban greenspaces. Each 'expedition' entailed training for the community scientists in field methods for biodiversity sampling and techniques for preserving, studying, and identifying invertebrates. Each expedition also yielded large numbers of specimens that were worked up into permanent collection specimens and identified by the participating experts. The results were published in reports and papers, partly authored with the community scientists. We now have a rich baseline of invertebrates from these greenspaces, which reveal important ecological patterns. This digitization of the data, with particular emphasis on the soil invertebrates, provides a baseline from these greenspaces.

Greenspaces in Greater Amsterdam In most greenspaces, we applied a range of sampling techniques, including malaise trapping, leaf litter sieving with Winkler extraction, pitfall trapping, baited pitfall trapping, sweepnetting, butterfly netting, light trapping, and manual collecting.
