Method synopsis

Deployment of temperature loggers at multiple depths in aquatic habitats with half-hourly recordings over multi-week periods. Includes post-processing gap-filling using reference gauge data.

Synthesized from method descriptions across 2 papers using this protocol.

Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Temperature influences pollinators' choice of floral partners independently of community composition (2025), Journal of Animal Ecology. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Install temperature monitoring
   Install HOBO Pendant data logger (UA-001-08) covered by radiation shield positioned 10cm above ground to passively record site-specific temperature at 30-minute intervals.
   Quantities: 1 data logger per meadow siteDuration: Continuous recording throughout entire sampling seasonConditions: Data loggers protected from direct radiation, positioned above ground level
   Equipment: HOBO Pendant UA-001-08, radiation shield
