Habitat: Mediterranean woodland

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: grazing

WMT: 23.0

CMT: 3.0

Life forms: scarab beetles

Sites: 3

Sampling methods: baited,pitfall traps

Sample size: 249 individuals

Years: 1994, 1995

Days: 40

Nets or traps: 6

Net or trap nights: 240

Sampling comments: sites SB4, SB7, and SB8
"Each 2 weeks [over nine month], two [dung-baited] traps were placed separately at each sampling location, 4 m from each other, and were removed after 48 h... The total number of traps analyzed was 296" over nine sites (not just these three)
this apparently means that two traps were laid out in each of three locations for two days every two weeks over an approximate 39 week period, which comes to approximately 240 trap days
