An Automatic Nest-Trap for Waterfowl
Journal of Wildlife Management, 1957 cartridges misfired, or 5 per cent of the total used. In total, 17 burrows required retreatment on the next or subsequent days. It may be noticed that on May 9th a fair number of burrows were treated which were missed on the previous day.

Artificial covering on trap nests improves the colonization of trap‐nesting wasps [PDF]
Journal of Applied Entomology, 2008 AbstractTo evaluate the role that a trap‐nest cover might have on sampling methodologies, the abundance of each species of trap‐nesting Hymenoptera and the parasitism rate in a Canadian forest were compared between artificially covered and uncovered traps.

Landscape Simplification Modifies Trap-Nesting Bee and Wasp Communities in the Subtropics [PDF]
Insects, 2020 (1) Background: Landscape simplification is a major threat to bee and wasp conservation in the tropics, but reliable, long-term population data are lacking. We investigated how community composition, diversity, and abundance of tropical solitary bees and wasps change with landscape simplification (plant diversity, plant richness, distance from forest ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Artificial devices are increasingly used in conservation measures to mitigate the disappearance of natural habitats. However, few studies have demonstrated their benefits for the target species, and they may pose a risk of creating ecological traps. This

Culicoides biting midges involved in transmission of haemoproteids
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Culicoides biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are known vectors of avian Haemoproteus parasites. These parasites cause diseases, pathology and even mortality in birds.

Nest Predation Deviates from Nest Predator Abundance in an Ecologically Trapped Bird. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In human-modified environments, ecological traps may result from a preference for low-quality habitat where survival or reproductive success is lower than in high-quality habitat.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2023 Insects, as one of the most species‐rich taxa with enormous taxonomic, behavioural and functional diversity, are in decline. Bees and wasps are especially crucial for ecosystems as pollinators or to control populations of other insects.
