Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest
Altered habitat: secondary forest
Protection: nature reserve
Substrate: ground surface
MAP: 4900.0
Habitat comments: originally native primary "cloud forest"; there is "an extremely dry season from June to August"
MAP given in text; CMT and WMT unclear because the nearest climate station (80370, Ipiales) has much lower MAP and is at a much higher altitude

Methods
Life forms: scarab beetles
Sites: 1
Site length: 350
Sampling methods: line transect,baited,pitfall traps
Sample size: 410 individuals
Days: 2
Nets or traps: 8
Net or trap nights: 16
Sampling comments: eight human dung-baited pitfall traps situated 50 m apart on a single transect
sampling was between January and June, and "Traps were baited between 06:00 and 08:00 hr and all specimens were collected after 48 hr. For the first three sampling months, the traps were checked every 12 hr in order to identify each species’ period of daily activity" (this apparently means that traps were set out on one occasion)
