bait traps,   etc   ; animals; insect ecology; pest control; population distribution;     Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Traps are routinely used in insect ecology, conservation, and pest control, but the understanding of trap counts remains limited. A well developed theory only exists for non-baited traps (e.g. pitfall traps) and the simplest animal movement modes, such as Brownian motion, but not for more complex or realistic situations. In particular, important questions as to how the trap counts may differ in ca ...

Abstract:
... Humans prey on animals with often dramatic effects on abundances, but also alterations to the phenotypical composition of prey populations. Instances of lethal management provide an opportunity to explore proximate mechanisms of phenotypical change. While there is evidence from exploitative predation (e.g. fisheries) that prey can change via evolutionary mechanisms, we present one of the first stu ...

Abstract:
... This review describes an innovative and efficient modification of a type of Malaise trap meme overlooked in a recent review of such insect traps. It further identifies the large variety of dipteran parasites of vertebrates caught in the traps when CO₂ was added as an attractant that otherwise rarely were caught in unbaited traps. Baited trap catches of parasitic flies mimicked those caught attacki ...

Abstract:
... During the last century, the range of the American burying beetle (Nicrophorus americanus Olivier) has been reduced by >90%. Only isolated, extant populations of this federally threatened species now exist, primarily in the Great Plains. Although the primary reason for this decline remains unclear, anthropogenic changes to habitat and vertebrate food sources used for reproduction have played a sig ...

Abstract:
... Quantitative assessment and management of small-scale fisheries is a persistent problem for fisheries. Crustaceans are particularly challenging for conventional techniques because their lack of permanent hard body parts makes ageing difficult. While a growing body of literature is aimed at developing alternative approaches to small-scale fisheries assessment there are concerns about the indiscrimi ...

Abstract:
... Detection of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), relies heavily on traps baited with the male attractant trimedlure. This lure is dispensed from solid polymeric plugs (2 g a.i.) that are changed out every 6 wk, because beyond this interval their attractiveness drops significantly below that of fresh lure. Existing data suggest that plugs loa ...
