Competence of Litter Ants for Rapid Biodiversity Assessments

Figure 2

Sampling design for ants and other arthropods collection (not in a proportion). Six 1 m² quadrats were placed at every 20 m interval on both sides of the 100 m transect. Along one side of the transect, litter was collected from six 1 m² quadrats for Winkler extraction (white squares), hand collection from the six 1 m² quadrats of the other side of transect (solid black squares) and six pitfall traps (white circles) were laid down 2 m away from the transect.
