How differences in the settling behaviour of moths (Lepidoptera) may contribute to sampling bias when using automated light traps

Quantitative community-wide moth surveys frequently employ flight-interception traps equipped with UV-light emitting sources as attractants. It has long been known that moth species differ in their responsiveness to light traps. We studied how the settling behaviour of moths at a light trap may furt...
