Abstract
LUCCI FREITAS, André Victor et al. Studies with butterfly bait traps: an overview. Rev. Colomb. Entomol. [online]. 2014, vol.40, n.2, pp.203-212. ISSN 0120-0488.
In the last decades, there has been a considerable increase in literature concerning ecological studies employing bait traps to capture butterflies. The growing interest in this kind of studies has given rise to a demanding group of young students and researchers looking for information and standardized protocols. Due to such growing interest in bait trap studies, this review aims to discuss (i) the basic aspects of the main technique of collection and sampling methods, and (ii) alternative solutions of different bait trap surveys in the Neotropics. Common mistakes that could undermine the quality and comparability of obtained data are also discussed.
