abstract |
Different variants of using baits to trap small mammals or other forms of luring substances according to the purpose of observation, census, and regulation of abundance are considered. In total, 9 main types (recipes and methods) of baits, which are used in some "thematic" research by colleagues (bread on oil, parsley root, insect larvae, hard cheese, fermented fruit, etc.), and the specifics of their use (seasonal aspects, practices of rodent control, comparison of lures by versatility) are presented. The issue of non-selective census in estimating species abundance, population and community structures is discussed, as well as the issue of desired selectivity for certain research tasks, including the study of ecology and behaviour of some species or, if necessary, to collect serial material. |
