Beetle community at Hubbard Brook sampled by window traps 1973-1977 and 2015-2017
Beetles were sampled using window traps at in the same locations within the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, New Hampshire, in 1973-1977 and again in 2015-2017. Samples were collected from late May through early August, but the number of weeks sampled differed among years. Most individuals collected were identified to the family level. For statistical analyses, counts by taxon for all samples were adjusted to a 48-hr collection period by simple linear interpolation. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station. These data have been published in Harris, J.E., Rodenhouse, N.L. and Holmes, R.T., 2019. Decline in beetle abundance and diversity in an intact temperate forest linked to climate warming. Biological Conservation, 240, p.108219.

Data from: Optimising sampling of flying insects using a modified window trap
Insect populations are globally declining but standardized long‐term data to evaluate trends and consequences are largely missing. One difficulty among many is the rather narrow taxonomic cover of most conventional trap types, which makes the use of several complementary collection methods necessary to achieve comprehensive coverage. To avoid the effort associated with operating multiple traps, we demonstrate how to modify window traps in a simple and standardizable way to capture a wider range of flying insect taxa. While a typical window trap only has a collection unit below the windows, we added an additional collection unit on top of the windows. We tested this modified trap design in 135 study plots in a temperate forest over 5 months and compared trap catches between top and bottom collection units. The top collection unit captured considerably more individuals of Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Neuroptera, Auchenorrhyncha and Thysanoptera than the bottom collection unit. In contrast, there were more individuals of Coleoptera, Heteroptera, Sternorrhyncha and Psocoptera in the bottom collection unit. Both collection units captured a highly distinct insect community and patterns were consistent throughout the season. These modified traps are suitable for collecting a broader range of flying insects compared to conventional window traps. The additional top unit is fast and easy to build and the traps require little maintenance while operating in the field. These characteristics make modified window traps with top and bottom collection units a promising tool for standardized and replicable biodiversity studies covering a broad range of insect taxa.
3D printing template for The Water-Exclusion Trap (WET): A 3D printable window trap collector that prevents DNA degradation
<p><span>3D templates of a long-term storable bottom collector for window or pitfall traps. The collection medium in a LEE trap barely evaporates and does not dilute because water is excluded, maximizing DNA preservation. Based on field-collected specimens and lab experiments, we confirm that the LEE significantly outperforms conventional traps in terms of DNA quality. </span></p>
