Investigation of Potential Trapping Bias in Malaise Traps Due to Mesh Gauge, in Two Habitats

Malaise traps are a common tool for collecting insects used by many researchers. Although there have been variations in the models and materials used for Malaise traps, the potential for sampling bias due to mesh gague has been explored inadequately. This study compared coarse and fine mesh Townes m...
