Insect biodiversity reveals much about ecosystem health and function; however, field studies of insect community composition and diversity are often unintentionally biased by the sampling methods deployed in the study area. Pan traps, particularly yellow pan traps, are a common method for passive community assessment across a variety of taxonomic levels. Our study finds that the diversity, richness, and abundance of hymenopterans in pan trapping projects are significantly impacted by the color of the pan trap deployed. Additionally, we find that individual species display significant preferences for not only yellow pan traps but also for white, fluorescent yellow, blue, and fluorescent blue pans. Our data support recent studies that suggest yellow traps alone may be insufficient for sampling the true diversity of certain hymenopteran groups in a region.

森林砍伐中跨膜翅目的全盘诱捕颜色

昆虫的生物多样性在很大程度上揭示了生态系统的健康和功能。但是，对昆虫群落组成和多样性的野外研究通常会因研究区域内采用的抽样方法而无意间产生偏差。泛集陷阱，特别是黄色泛集陷阱，是在各种分类学水平上进行被动社区评估的常用方法。我们的研究发现，锅具捕捞项目中膜翅目动物的多样性，丰富性和丰富度受到锅具捕集器颜色的显着影响。另外，我们发现单个物种不仅对黄色锅具表现出显着的偏爱，而且对白色，荧光黄，蓝色和荧光蓝皿也表现出明显的偏爱。
