Baited traps
This summer, I will conduct an experiment where I am using different baits (mushrooms, snails, arthropods, fish, liver and yeast) to attract phorid flies. It will be interesting to find out if different species of phorid flies are attracted by different kinds of bait. The experiment is conducted in a forested area in the South of Stockholm where we are looking at three different habitats (coniferous forest, mixed forest and deciduous forest).
