Description

Visual counting method for arthropods on sagebrush plants involving systematic counting of mobile species first (to avoid double-counting) followed by sedentary species. Targets mutualistic and non-mutualistic herbivores and predators.

Typical Equipment

  • 1 m² quadrat frames
  • counting sheets
  • marker

Output Measurements

  • arthropod abundances by functional group
