Title: Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve
Townes-style Malaise Traps in Dyke Marsh Wildlife Preserve (DMWP), Virginia, 1998–1999
(E. M. Barrows, 14 June 2008, updated xxxx)
As part of making an arthropod study of DMWP, my lab operated six floating, Townes-style Malaise Traps in 1998 and 1999. The lab placed two traps in the floodplain forest, two in the open freshwater tidal marsh, and two in the ecotone between them. Traps moved up to about 1 m up and down with tides.
Below are photographs of the traps. These images are digital images produced from 35-mm color slides.
