Length of multiple-funnel traps affects catches of some bark and wood boring beetles in a slash pine stand in northern Florida
Florida Entomologist 92 (3), 506-507
Abstract: In 2001, we compared catches of some common species of bark and wood beetles in 8- and 16-unit multiple-funnel traps baited with ethanol and (-)-Omega-pinene in a slash pine stand on the Osceola National Forest in northern Florida with bottoms of both trap types at the same height above ground level. More Arhopalus rusticus nubilus (Cerambycidae) and Xyleborus spp (Scolytidae) were caught in 16-unit traps than in 8-unit ones whereas catches of Hylobius pales (Curculionidae) were lower in 16-unit traps than in 8-unit ones. Trap length had no effect on catches of Xylotrechus sagittatus sagittatus (Cerambycidae), Dendroctonus terebrans, Ips grandicollis, Xyleborinus saxesenii (Scolytidae) and Pachylobius picivorus (Curculionidae).
