Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Altered habitat: fragment

Substrate: ground surface

MAP: 1200.0

Habitat comments: "tropical dry forest, fragments of secondary forest and fallow land in various stages of succession" and specifically "two fragments without contiguous living fences and covering an area < 2 ha"
MAP stated in text; CMT and WMT unclear because the nearest climate station (76741, Coatzacoalcos) is at sea level

Life forms: scarab beetles

Sites: 2

Site length: 250

Sampling methods: line transect,baited,pitfall traps

Sample size: 514 individuals

Days: 20

Seasons: wet or monsoon

Nets or traps: 12

Net or trap nights: 240

Sampling comments: two transects each with six human excrement-, cow dung-, or squid-baited pitfall traps separated by 25 m (i.e., a total transect length of 2 x 125 m) that were sampled on 20 occasions "during two rainy seasons: from May to October 2004, and from May to August 2005"
there is a conflict in the text, with "bait replaced every 48 h" but traps supposedly "visited" for 6 h on each occasion; I assume that 20 visits means 20 sampling days, period
