Fig. 7. Spatial configuration of traps in the mark–release–recapture experiments in December 2005–January 2006. The length of the trapping transect is 150 m. The daily schedule had three parts: 1) the 42 pitfall traps (black dots) were checked, recaptures recorded, new beetles marked, and placed in the boxes in the lab with or without food, 2) the 12 release boxes in the experimental area (white and black squares) were checked for beetles released in previous days, and 3) the individuals trapped in the previous day and kept overnight in the lab with (white boxes) or without (black boxes) food were released in the experimental area. Dashed lines represent the observed movements between the release boxes and the transect for individuals caught and released during the first four trapping days. Numbers are days spent by a male (m) or a female (f) moving.
