Natural-history traits suspected behind interspecific variations of bark- and wood-boring beetles in response to trap size and design [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe performances of traps used for pest monitoring are not well understood. Variable trap sizes and shapes make cross-comparisons difficult. We tested with four Scolytinae species (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) a set of traps of the same model (fan-traps ...
