“…However, the colour of a pan trap has previously been found to influence the number and types of insects attracted to the trap, with many studies showing colour preferences for particular taxa (Saunders & Luck ; Moreira et al . ). One possibility is that the sample size in this study was not large enough to detect differences.…”

Citizen science can play an important role in school science education. Citizen science is particularly relevant to addressing current societal environmental sustainability challenges, as it engages the students directly with environmental science and gives students an understanding of the scientific process. In addition, it allows students to observe local representations of global challenges. Here, we report a citizen science programme designed to engage school-age children in real-world scientific research. The programme used standardized methods deployed across multiple schools through scientist-school partnerships to engage students with an important conservation problem: habitat for pollinator insects in urban environments. Citizen science programmes such as the programme presented here can be used to enhance scientific literacy and skills. Provided key challenges to maintain data quality are met, this approach is a powerful way to contribute valuable citizen science data for understudied, but ecologically important study systems, particularly in urban environments across broad geographical areas.

“…It is well-known that fl ower-visiting insects prefer particular colours, which is the reason why three different colours are normally used for pan-trapping (e.g. Kirk, 1984;Vrdoljak & Samways, 2012;Joshi et al, 2015;Moreira et al, 2016;Sircom et al, 2018). The underlying mechanism of colour preference seems to be due to fundamental differences in the visual processing of different insects (Shrestha et al, 2019).…”

Pollinating insects are important and therefore, it is important to be able to assess and monitor changes in their abundance. Consequently, it is essential that the methods used to collect data have some level of precision and are accurate. In the present study, two commonly used methods: colour pan-traps and sweep netting along transects, were compared. A total of 1775 specimens of 120 species of four insect families were caught in twelve clear-cuts in southern Sweden. Overall, Lepturinae (Cerambycidae; 5 species) and Cetoniidae (Scarabaeidae; 2) were trapped in larger numbers by pan-traps and Syrphidae (62) and Apoidea, both social (10) and solitary (41), by sweep netting. The catches of none of the above groups of insects by the two methods were correlated. These results show that the composition of catches of the two methods are very different, which has implications when choosing a method for sampling or monitoring and comparing and analysing published data.

“…Tanto las técnicas de colecta activas como las pasivas han sido evaluadas en diferentes estudios que sugieren aplicar más de una de estas técnicas debido a su complementariedad en la captura de ejemplares (Wilson et al, 2008;Devigne y De Biseau, 2014;Gullan y Cranston, 2014;Moreira et al, 2016). La complementariedad se define como la similitud de dos o más muestras con base en las especies, géneros o familias de artrópodos exclusivas de cada una, con relación al total de ejemplares capturados (Samways et al, 2010).…”
