Metadata: 1961 - 1987 Alan J. Southward and Eve C. Southward Devon and Cornwall Sightings of Clibanarius erythropus
Abstract:
The hermit crab Clibanarius erythropus was first reported from Britain in 1961. Alan and Eve Southward reported the occurrence of this crab at a number of localities in Devon and Cornwall and showed how the species had become less common (Southward and Southward, 1977). Since that time they continued surveillance at the two sites where the population of the hermit crab survived, on Church Reef, Wembury, S. Devon and on Great Hogus Reef, Marazion, Mount's Bay, Cornwall. No animals were seen at either site in the last two years of surveillance, 1986 and 1987. Records from Alan and Eve's paper have been digitised.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2085 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 1961 - 1987 Alan J. Southward and Eve C. Southward Devon and Cornwall Sightings of Clibanarius erythropus |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | 1961 - 1987 Alan J. Southward., Eve C.

| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 8d43c2790b3058047fe59b56922f75d3 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | DASSHDT00000286 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1961-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1987-12-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The hermit crab Clibanarius erythropus was first reported from Britain in 1961. Alan and Eve Southward reported the occurrence of this crab at a number of localities in Devon and Cornwall and showed how the species had become less common (Southward and Southward, 1977).

Devon and on Great Hogus Reef, Marazion, Mount's Bay, Cornwall. No animals were seen at either site in the last two years of surveillance, 1986 and 1987. Records from Alan and Eve's paper have been digitised. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | At each place approximately 30 min was spent searching the favoured habitat of the crab, then wider searches made of other suitable pools/shaded overhangs. Data was digitised into MEDIN format from the published paper in 'Additional Information Source'. Eve Southward (author of paper) checked through records for accuracy. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | A. J. SOUTHWARD AND EVE C.
