Quantifying responses of dung beetles to fire disturbance in tropical forests: the importance of trapping method and seasonality.

Quantifying responses of dung beetles to fire disturbance in tropical forests: the importance of trapping method and seasonality.

Understanding how biodiversity responds to environmental changes is essential to provide the evidence-base that underpins conservation initiatives. The present study provides a standardized comparison between unbaited flight intercept traps (FIT) and baited pitfall traps (BPT) for sampling dung beet...
