Field naturalists have searched across Clare Island for animal
groups ranging from the microscopic to birds and mammals. Many more
species have been found since the original survey a hundred years
ago, due to the availability of modern methods, which greatly add
to our knowledge of the biodiversity of Clare Island. The lists of
species featured here include some new to the island, some new to
Ireland and some new to science. This volume signals the need for
further field work and taxonomic research to track biodiversity
changes arising from human activity. Land and freshwater fauna is
the tenth volume in the New Survey of Clare Island series, which
seeks to build on the pioneering work of the first Clare Island
Survey (1909-11), the most ambitious natural history project ever
undertaken in Ireland and the first major biological survey of a
specific area carried out in the world.
