Prepping the field for insect collection

Matthew Pavusa preps pitfall traps for spider community collection in prairie habitat. This research project investigates predator-prey interactions, testing the diet of predatory spiders in farms with terrestrial (crop) and aquatic systems (wetlands). This project is part of Aleksandra Dolezal's PhD at the University of Guelph with Andrew MacDougall.
