Description

Beetles were captured using speed nets, marked with tungsten needle dot codes on elytra, and released for recapture monitoring to estimate population sizes and dispersal patterns. Elytral condition was used to determine age classes and emergence timing.

Typical Equipment

  • long handled speed net
  • plastic containers for transport
  • Wild M5 dissecting microscope
  • sharp tungsten needle

Output Measurements

  • recapture rates
  • dispersal distances
  • population size estimates
  • emergence timing
  • age structure
