Pitfall trap design affects the capture efficiency of harvestmen (Opiliones) and millipedes (Diplopoda) [PDF]
Pitfall trapping is one of the standard methods used for the capture of ground‐active arthropod groups. Despite being frequently used, the standardization of this method is problematic due to the large range of combinations of the individual parameters ...
