摘要：
We surveyed 127 published small-mammal trapping studies (of either Peromyscus maniculatus or Clethrionomys gapperi) to assess the range of sizes used in the design of trap arrays. The distribution of trap spacings was bimodal, with peaks at 10 and 15 in. The mean extent of trapping arrays was 1.8 ha for grids and 358 in for transects. Only seven manuscript,, mentioned prebaiting, The results suggest that many small-mammal studies are designed in a similar way, at small spatial scales. Larger-scale patterns and processes may occur undetected without larger-scale sampling designs, We present and discuss some recent examples from the literature.
