Summer abundance and activity monitoring of arthropods in the Hudson Bay Lowlands
We are monitoring the variations in arthropods abundance and activity throughout the whole summer. Pitfall traps are used to capture surface active and low-flying arthropods. Two transects of 5 traps each (20m between each trap) are deployed in heath, sedge, moss and shrub communities. Traps are set...

Summary: | We are monitoring the variations in arthropods abundance and activity throughout the whole summer. Pitfall traps are used to capture surface active and low-flying arthropods. Two transects of 5 traps each (20m between each trap) are deployed in heath, sedge, moss and shrub communities. Traps are set up and emptied every 24 hours at intervals of 7-10 days. ** If data are downloaded and used for analyses, it would greatly be appreciated that the contact researcher be informed. : Purpose: Monitoring of seasonal variations in arthropods abundance and diversity. : Summary: Not Applicable |
