DungBeetleData_ColombiaWC_2012

Dung beetles were sampled using standardised baited (with human dung) pitfall traps spaced 100 apart. A total of 145 traps were sampled across the study, in primary forest, secondary forest and cattle pasture. Each set of traps were set-up in the field for four days, re-baited (with old bait removed) after 48 hours and beetle samples collected every 24 hours. <br>All individuals were identified to species or morpho-species. Species determinations were made by; F. Edwards, C. A. Medina, A. Gonzalez, and J. S. Cardenas at the Instituto Alexander von Humboldt, Colombia. Specimens from this project are also deposited at the Instituto Alexander von Humboldt, Colombia.<br>Please note that taxonomic revisions are made frequently, and adjustments to this data may occur.

本研究采用诱饵为人类粪便的标准化陷捕器（pitfall trap）开展蜣螂样本采集，陷捕器布设间距为100（原文未明确具体单位）。本次研究共布设145个陷捕器，采样区域涵盖原生林、次生林以及牛放牧草场。
每组陷捕器均在野外布设4天，布设后48小时移除原有旧诱饵并更换新诱饵，且每24小时采集一次蜣螂样本。所有采集个体均鉴定至物种或形态种（morpho-species）水平。物种鉴定工作由哥伦比亚亚历山大·冯·洪堡研究所（Instituto Alexander von Humboldt）的F. Edwards、C. A. Medina、A. Gonzalez以及J. S. Cardenas完成。本项目产生的标本均保存于该研究所。
