Match the following trapping methods with the type of organisms they target: Live traps, Malaise trap, Traps with sticky surfaces, Cannon nets.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match different trapping methods with the types of organisms they are designed to capture. It requires an understanding of various trapping techniques and their applications in biology.
Answer
Live traps: mammals; Malaise traps: flying insects; Sticky traps: insects; Cannon nets: birds.
Live traps are used for capturing mammals. Malaise traps target flying insects, particularly bees. Traps with sticky surfaces are primarily used for insects, such as cockroaches. Cannon nets are typically used for capturing larger birds.
Answer for screen readers
Live traps are used for capturing mammals. Malaise traps target flying insects, particularly bees. Traps with sticky surfaces are primarily used for insects, such as cockroaches. Cannon nets are typically used for capturing larger birds.
More Information
Live traps often involve cages or enclosed areas to capture animals alive. Malaise traps are designed as mesh tents to intercept flying insects. Sticky traps often have adhesive surfaces to immobilize insects. Cannon nets are large nets projected over flocks of birds to capture them rapidly.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming all sticky traps are for the same types of insects. Check specific trap designs and target species.
