Methods
Life forms: scarab beetles
Sites: 6
Site length: 250
Sampling methods: line transect,baited,pitfall traps
Sample size: 417 individuals
Days: 2
Nets or traps: 6

Sampling comments: one baited pitfall trap at the end of each of six transects, with the transects being separated from each other by 50 m (so the transect length is 5 by 50 m), that were "emptied every 24 hours and rebaited every 48 hours" for a total of 12 trap-days
