Sampling methods for assessing Syrphid biodiversity (Diptera: Syrphidae) in tropical forests
When assessing the species richness of a taxonomic group in a specific area, the choiceof sampling method is critical. In this study, the effectiveness of three methods for sampling syrphids(Diptera: Syrphidae) in tropical forests is compared: Malaise trapping, collecting adults with an entomological net, and collecting and rearing immatures. Surveys...Marcos-Garcia, M-Angeles ; Garcia-Lopez, A ; Zumbado, M A ; Rotheray, Graham E
