Abstract

Conservation and biodiversity
The main objective of the research carried out in the Cromwell Chafer Nature Reserve (CCNR) during 2023-24 was to estimate the population density of the Cromwell chafer (Prodontria lewisii Broun) as part of an existing long-term annual monitoring programme. Data on changes in population density of the chafer species, as well as its potential predators, will assist in conservation management of P. lewisii.Report number: AgR 12386
