The record contains information on beetle succession in decaying Eucalyptus obliqua logs, from 1999-2009. Data on beetle species identification, field sampling notes, and collection details from eucalyptus logs across the decade range from 1999 - 2009 are provided.

Purpose
Concern over the conservation implications of declining availability of large logs in Tasmania's wet eucalypt production forests managed on relatively short rotations led to the establishment of a long-term experiment aimed at comparing succession in saproxylic beetles in large-diameter (mature) and small-diameter (regrowth) logs. 
Lineage
The first sampling cycle spanned the first five years following the felling of six mature-aged (>150 years) and six mature regrowth-aged (c75 years) Eucalyptus obliqua trees growing in a multi-aged forest study area at Warra in southern Tasmania. These were felled over three seasons from May (autumn) 1999 to February (summer) 2000. For full details of this project see the publication Grove, S.J. & Forster, L. 2011.

Procedure StepsData not provided.
The Warra Tall Eucalypt site is approximately 60 km west south-west of Hobart, Tasmania. It lies partly within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
