Comparison of modern and Turner (1955) status (Micro species)

The following table shows status (for Micro's) given by Turner vs. computer generated status now.  Status now is based on data from the past 25 years and is aggregated into 4 abundance classes (common, frequent, occasional and rare) and 4 distribution classes (widespread, generally distributed, local and very local).  Migrant and vagrant species are also indicated.
