Insect Sampling in Forest Ecosytems
Code: 033006

Methods in Ecology series

The small size of insects and their varied life cycles, rapid rates of increase and ingenious adaptations to habitats, means that insect sampling presents special problems not faced by other ecologists.

Forest ecosystems also provide particular difficulties to ecologists working beneath their canopies.

This book brings together the collective expertise obtained over many years of intensive fieldwork in tropical and temperate ecosystems by a number of well-known entomologists. Each chapter, as well as dealing with sampling a particular stratum of the canopy or specialised group of insects, presents a comprehensive guide to running effective experiments within and beneath the forest canopy. The book highlights the problems faced by entomologists working in different ecosystems, and suggest ways in which their methodology can be modified so as to be understood by ecologists.
