This review article on carabids in sustainable agro-ecosystems of the temperate Northern
hemisphere presents a compilation of the available knowledge on the significance of …

Pitfall trapping is one of the oldest, most frequently used, and simple of all invertebrate
sampling techniques, and yet it is also one of the most frequently misused. This is because …

Pitfall trapping is one of the most commonly used methods to survey surface-active
invertebrates, but has many potential biases that may affect the catch of invertebrates. The …

Ground beetles (Carabidae) and wolf spiders (Lycosidae) are among the dominant epigeal
arthropod predators in arable land. Their predation effect on potential insect populations …

In an agroecosystem, catches of epigeal invertebrate predators obtained by pitfall traps were
compared to absolute population densities estimated by ground photoeclectors in two …

The effects of the management of genetically modified herbicide–tolerant (GMHT) crops on
the abundances of aerial and epigeal arthropods were assessed in 66 beet, 68 maize and …

With numerous invertebrate sampling techniques available, deciding which technique to use
under certain circumstances may be difficult. Many researchers interested in invertebrate …

Apart from experimental design, the selection of pitfall trap size, collecting fluid and habitat
type sampled may also influence the capture efficiency of the method. We combined three …

Summary 1 Suction sampling is a popular method for the collection of quantitative data on
grassland invertebrate populations, although there have been no detailed studies into the …

Little is known about the ground-dwelling arthropod diversity in tropical montane cloud
forests (TMCF). Due to unique habitat conditions in TMCFs with continuously wet substrates …
