A comparison of two common flight interception traps to survey tropical arthropods
Tropical forests are predicted to harbor most of the insect diversity on earth, but few studies have been conducted to characterize insect communities in tropical forests. One major limitation is the lack of consensus on methods for insect collection. Deciding which insect trap to use is an important consideration for ecologists and entomologists, yet to date few study has presented a quantitat...
متن کاملSampling Saproxylic Beetles with Window Flight Traps: Methodological Insights
RÉSUMÉ. — Regards méthodologiques sur l’échantillonnage des coléoptères saproxyliques au moyen des pièges-vitres. — Les coléoptères saproxyliques constituent un groupe riche en espèces, souvent petites et cryptiques, et diffi ciles à échantillonner. Différentes méthodes sont traditionnellement utilisées pour les collecter: les techniques (i) de collecte active, (ii) d’élevage et (iii) de piégea...
متن کاملLocal sampling for indoor flight
A challenging problem in artificial intelligence is to achieve vision-based autonomous indoor flight with Micro Air Vehicles. Approaches to this problem currently do not make use of image appearance features, because these features generally are computationally expensive. In this article, we deliver a proof-ofconcept that appearance features can be extracted computationally efficient enough to ...
متن کاملA Composite Interception Trap for Sampling Arthropods in Tree Canopies
A new design of interception trap is presented based on a combination of features ofwindow and Malaise traps. The trap has been developed for study of the canopy faunas of rainforest trees, specifically Argyrodendron actinophyllum. Five such traps have been operated in SE Queensland for a year with catches being removed weekly. Coleoptera, Nematocera, Homoptera and Hymenoptera were the most abu...
متن کاملStudies on the Flight Mechanism of Insects
Fibrillar type flight muscle powers the flight machinery of the more phylogenetically advanced groups of flying insects. A comparison of responses from single fibers in insects from various orders having fibrillar muscle reveals fundamental differences. In single fibers of flies and wasps the response to a single threshold stimulus is an all-or-none, uniformly rising, in most cases overshooting...
