Fogging and Flight Interception Traps-The Evaluation of Two Methods to Collect Canopy Arthropods. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT The forest canopy is a crucial habitat for a wide variety of species. However, it remains difficult to assess due to significant methodological challenges and uncertainties. Flight intercept traps (FITs) and insecticidal knockdown (FOGGING) are among the most widely used techniques for sampling canopy arthropods, yet systematic comparisons of ...
