This protocol can be used to estimate short and long term community structure of corticolous arthropods. This technique is useful for capturing both flying and crawling arthropods and facilitates easy laboratory analysis. To begin this procedure m

We describe a semi-quantitative approach of measuring characteristics of corticolous (bark-dwelling) arthropod communities. We placed commercially manufactured sticky traps on tree boles to estimate abundance, total length (a surrogate to biomass), richness, and Shannon diversity for comparison among tree species.
