“…They have been used extensively for sampling surface-dwelling fauna, and their efficiency has been reviewed by many workers, e.g., Turner (1960), Briggs (1961), Rickard & Haverfield (1965), Stein (1965), Murdoch (1966a), Southwood (1966), Nelson (1970), Ahearn (1971), Gist & Crossley (1973), Luff (1975), and Thiele (1977).…”

The abundance and seasonality of invertebrates were studied in 3 forest communities near Wellington, New Zealand by pitfall trapping at equal intensity for 14 months. Of 238 species trapped (93 461 individuals), 172 (50 204) occurred in mixed broadleaf-podocarp, 98 (23 072) in hard beech (Nothofagus truncata), and 107 (20 185) in silver beech (Nothofagus menziesil) forest. The composition of the invertebrate fauna differed amongst forest communities. Although many invertebrates were active throughout the year, significantly more were caught in autumn, and fewest in winter. The temporal distribution of several species was correlated positively with temperature, but very few species showed a correlation with rainfall. More species and individuals occurred in the more botanically diverse broadleaf-podocarp forest than in the beech forests. Species composition was more diverse in the lowland broadleaf-podocarp forest than in the high-altitude silver beech forest.

“…Obrtel (1971) showed that the highest incremental increases in overall species richness occurred for the first five traps in beetle communities. However, Stein (1965) considered that fewer than 20 traps would be insufficient to determine the number of Carabidae species in a site, while Bombosch (1962) found that increasing the number of traps above 70 still caught additional species. It is likely that reliable data on the species at a site can be obtained from 12 pitfall traps when considering common temperate Carabidae fauna (Obrtel 1971).…”

“…If only a species list of a relatively large number of wet heathland sites is needed, our data showed that three pitfall traps are sufficient (cf. Stein, 1965;KabacikWasylik, 1970). On average 81% of the total species rich ness per site was caught in one of the three pitfall traps, while the additional pitfall traps only added 14% and 4% respectively to the total species richness per site.…”

Abstract. During a survey of 23 wet heathland sites in Flanders (north Belgium) in 1999 and 2000, using both manual nest searching and pitfall traps as sampling techniques, we found 28 ant species. One species (Myrmica lonae) was new to the Belgian fauna and several rare species were encountered. Three ecological groups could be distinguished based on soil preference: the first group of species was characteristic of sandy soil, the second contained species that were more numerous on peat soil (with Sphagnum spp.), and the third group of species had no soil preference. Ant nest numbers increased strongly between 1999 and 2000, especially on the plots that were inundated during the winter of 1999-2000, but the number of ant species did not differ significantly between years. Ant nest density showed an optimum at a Purple Moor-grass (Molinia caerulea) cover of about 45%; the number of species did not show such an optimum. Pitfall traps yielded more species than manual nest searching; in particular temporary social parasites, spe cies with a large foraging range and winged females from the surrounding habitats were missed by the latter technique. Finally, we give some recommendations for the conservation of, and suitable management measures for, ants on wet heathland.
