Abstract:Coloured bowl trapping is a passive sampling method which catches insects through a combination of interception and attraction. The method is commonly used for Aculeata, especially bees. The objective of the present study is to determine a reliable sampling interval for aculeates using bowl traps since an appropriate sampling interval is important to enable the collection of representative samples in Neotropics. For this purpose we installed eight bowl traps in a forest fragment in Southern Brazil, during one … Show more
