• Diameter of downed woody debris does matter for saproxylic beetle assemblages in temperate oak and pine forests (2011, background): “Emergence trapping is considered one of the most appropriate techniques for investigations on microhabitat requirements of saproxylic insect species (Økland 1996; Alinvi et al. 2007; Wikars et al. 2005).”
• Microclimate and habitat heterogeneity as the major drivers of beetle diversity in dead wood (2016, unknown): “Compared to other sampling methods, such as bark sieving or emergence trapping, flight-interception and pitfall traps collect a wider range of species, from those colonizing exposed dead wood to those crossing plots by chance and without affinity to the accumulated dead wood (Alinvi et al. 2006).”
• A Red List of Italian Saproxylic Beetles: taxonomic overview, ecological features and conservation issues (Coleoptera) (2015, background): “These and other researches outside Italy (e.g. Alinvi et al. 2007) also showed that it is important to use more than one trap type to catch complementary subunits of the community, owing to the very complex structure and life history of this functional group.”
• What window traps can tell us: effect of placement, forest openness and beetle reproduction in retention trees (2009, unknown): “Using other traps or sampling techniques can sometimes give additional insight, but they all have their disadvantages (reviewed in e.g. Alinvi et al. 2007; Hyvarinen et al. 2006; Ranius and Jansson 2002; Wikars et al. 2005; Økland 1996).”
