BIODIVERSITY OF COLLEMBOLA IN SUGAR MAPLE (ACERACEAE) FORESTS
Abstract Collembola of 12 sugar maple forests of southern Quebec were surveyed through pit-light trapping and soil core extraction. These two sampling techniques were highly complementary, as pit-light traps are more efficient for sampling epigaeic species while soil core extractions are more effici...
