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.
