The moth assemblages in forest ecosystems are often used as indicators of forest quality
and to monitor the effects of habitat degradation or ecological restoration and management …

Abstract Evaluation of species diversity for highly diverse taxa is extremely time-consuming
and costly; thus, there is a need to develop efficient sampling strategies. We established a …

In this paper we establish the best period for sampling moth communities within the first half
of the night. We stress the importance of sampling duration in ecological studies that use …

Simple Summary Assessing the biodiversity of a site is challenging, as a comprehensive
survey of all plant and animal species is usually intractable due to limited resources. There …

Nocturnal moth ensembles are frequently assessed using either catches from automatic light
traps or manually collected samples at artificial light sources. Up to now, Few studies have …

In this study we investigated temporal patterns in activity of adult macro-moths in Colo-i-
Suva mixed lowland tropical forest on Fiji's largest island, Viti Levu. Moths were collected for …

Species richness is the most widely used measure of biodiversity, but the relationship
between the observed and true numbers of species present in a study site is not always …

Here we consider how best to sample moth diversity in a seasonal environment by
analyzing nightly data collected from 2011 to 2015 at a site in Clarke County, Georgia …

Seasonal trends of adult moth assemblages were investigated using portable light traps in a
cool-temperate region in central Hokkaido, northern Japan. Light traps were set at monthly …

A 22-watt black light trap was operated for 29 nights within a forest canopy of mainly Abies
balsamea in the Maritime Lowlands Ecoregion of the Acadian Forest, Fredericton, New …
