A comparison of three methods of trapping saproxylic beetles

A high trapping efficiency was found both for window traps and trunk window traps, while the efficiency of extraction cylinders was low. Trunk-window traps are suitable for comparison of different substrates within the same forest environment, while comparative studies of different forest environments are more difficult, due to baiting effects. Window trap captures are more suitable for comparing different forest environments, but are related to ecological conditions over wide areas, and are almost unaffected by substrate conditions in the near surroundings of the traps.
