[Abstract]  Insect pollinators, herbivores and their natural enemies use olfactory cues emitted by their host plants to locate them. In insect-plant ecology, understanding the mechanisms underlying these interactions are of critical importance, as this bio-communication has both ecological and agricultural applications. However, the first step in such research is to identify and quantify the insect community associated with the plant/s species of interest. Traditionally, this has been accomplished by a variety of insect trapping methods, either using pitfall traps, or sticky traps, or sweep nets in field. The data collected from these traps tend to be incomplete, and also damage the specimens, making them unusable for any taxonomic purposes. This protocol derives ideas from these traditional traps ... [摘要]  昆虫传粉者,食草动物及其天敌使用寄主植物发出的嗅觉线索来定位它们。在昆虫植物生态学中,理解这些相互作用的机制至关重要,因为这种生物交流具有生态和农业应用。然而,此类研究的第一步是鉴定和量化与植物物种相关的昆虫群落。传统上,这是通过各种昆虫诱捕方法实现的,要么使用陷阱陷阱,要么使用粘性陷阱,或在野外扫掠网。从这些陷阱收集的数据往往不完整,也会损坏标本,使其无法用于任何分类目的。该协议从这些传统的陷阱中获得思路,并使用三种易于制造的廉价改良陷阱的组合来隐藏宿主植物,但允许植物挥发物作为嗅觉提示通过。这些疏水阀经济实惠,可以适应大多数工厂规模,也可以重复使用。总的来说,这些陷阱将提供所有相关的节肢动物群落的可靠估计(可量化),这些群落也可以存储用于将来的研究。
