Standardized metal can pitfall traps baited with chicken drumsticks, deployed along elevation gradients to monitor burying beetle abundance and species composition.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 13 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Phoretic mite discrimination among male burying beetle (<i>Nicrophorus investigator</i>) hosts (2008), Annals of the Entomological Society of America. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
