Integrating Life Stages into Ecological Niche Models: A Case Study on Tiger Beetles
Figure 2
Schematic representation of the sampling units used to survey adults and larvae at each sampling point.
Adults were captured by pitfall trapping (i.e., one pitfall trap per sampling point; panel A) and larvae were mapped at three spatial scales: 1×1 m quadrat (represented by the shaded area in panel B), 50×50 cm quadrat (represented by the shaded area in panel C) and 25×25 cm quadrat (the shaded area in panel D exemplifies one of the 16 quadrats mapped at each sampling point).
