Sampling comments: "Field operations were conducted from June to August in 2016. Ten plots were laid out within three 'technogenic' (anthropogenic) zones... Species were collected using 50-m-long pitfall traps for 10 days every month. Leaving 5 m from the edge, five cones were pushed (dug) into the trench bottom 10 m apart... A total of 1142 cones-days (c-d) in the anthropogenic and 770 c-d in the reference zones were completed"
