Simulating capture efficiency of pitfall traps based on sampling strategy and the movement of ground‐dwelling arthropods

Abstract Pitfall traps are frequently used to capture ground‐dwelling arthropods, particularly beetles, ants and spiders. The capture efficiency of a pitfall trapping system strongly depends on the number and opening size of traps, how traps are distributed over the sampling area (spatial arrangemen...
