Abstract:

Location of catches for the Rapid Biodoversity Assesssment

Purpose:

Starting in the year 2000, 42 standardised trap stations were installed in managed (forest, agriculture) and unmanaged
habitats all over Switzerland for collecting biodiversity data following a method known as Rapid Biodiversity
Assessment (RBA). Each station consists of one flight and one pitfall trap, collecting flying and surface
dwelling arthropods. The collected material is not identified to the species level, but sorted into 14 taxonomic
groups and counted as morphospecies. In the Swiss National Park, two trap stations, operated on grassland and
in the forest at Stablchod, yielded parallel trends for morphospecies numbers, showing two peaks in the «heat
summers» of 2003 and 2005. In 2004 three additional trap stations were installed at different altitudes on Munt
la Schera. There is no clear overall trend, but a clear increase on top of Munt la Schera. Three further trap stations
were added in 2006 within Val Mustair, all above 1400 m. In their first year, 2006, they collected surprisingly
high numbers of more than 400 morphospecies, comparable only to the most diverse trap stations in Southwest
Switzerland.

Entity and attribute overview:

Moss plot nr. 13 was destroyed 1960 during the construction of a water pipe for Hotel Il Fuorn. As a substitution, Ochsner established a transect with 5 plots close to Il Fuorn.
