陆生节肢动物采集方法比较(英文)

陆生节肢动物是生态系统的十分重要组成部分。面对广泛分布的陆生节肢动物,如何选择最合适采集方法是长期以来被探讨的话题。本文介绍了一些常用的陆生节肢动物采集方法。我们将其分为三大类:有"活动密度"缺点的被动采集方法,无"活动密度"缺点的被动采集方法以及带有内在"活动密度"缺点的主动采集方法,并探讨了各种方法的优缺点,为生物多样性研究以及病虫害防治工作提供了基础。如何选择合适的采集方法主要取决与采集的目的以及目标物种的生活习性,在大多数情况下,多种不同的采集方法组合将会有较好的效果。

A Comparison of Terrestrial Arthropod Sampling Methods

Terrestrial arthropods are extremely important ecosystem components. The choice of best approaches to collect the wide range of terrestrial arthropods has been a topic of long-lasting debates. This article provides a brief overview of common sampling methods for terrestrial arthropod assemblages. We divide sampling methods into three main categories: passive sampling methods without any "activity density" bias, passive sampling methods with an "activity density" bias, and active sampling methods with inherent "activity density" and often further species-dependent biases, discussing their individual advantages and shortcomings as basis for biodiversity studies and pest control management. The selection of the optimal sampling methods depends strongly on the purpose of individual studies and the ecology and behavior of the arthropod groups targeted. A combination of different suitable methods is highly recommended in many cases.
