Installation of pitfall traps to capture arthropods in the intervention areas

Sept. 2, 2021

Within the monitoring works carried out by the LIFE BEETLES project, pitfall traps were set up on the project's intervention areas to capture invertebrates, for posterior transportation to the lab and respective sorting. This measure aims to evaluate if the conservation actions are effectively having a positive impact on the populations of the project's target species, assuring its safety in the long term.
