Arthropods from the canopy of inundated and terra firme forests near Manaus, Brazil, with critical considerations on the pyrethrum‐fogging technique*

摘要: Samples of arthropods in canopies selected trees were collected by pyrethrum‐fogging during the early part 1977 dry season from three types neotropical forest: varzea and igapo forest which are inundated seasonally white‐water black‐water rivers respectively, terra firme is not subject to inundation. Sampling areas within 30 km Manaus, Brazil. Number biomass sampled was highest firme, intermediate lowest varzea. Ants dominant on all sites a high percentage their species found only one type forest. It considered that many taxa incompletely with fogging technique. Further statements canopy fauna Central Amazonian should be based data gathered seasons compared material other methods at same time locality.
