In a conventional simple pitfall trap as proposed by the pioneers Dahl (1896), Barber (1931) and Greenslade (1964) which is basically a container sunk in the soil, a large proportion of ground dwelling beetle species occurring in a habitat will not be detected with sufficient certainty as they are comparatively rare in assemblages ( Driscoll, 2010). However, the authors did not consider additions to pitfall trap designs such as extended rim plates or guidance barriers although these have been used in previous studies. A recent meta-analysis by Brown & Matthews (2016) discussed many pitfall trap parameters (diameter, depth, colour, rain covers, preservatives and the use of funnels) and even proposed a standardized trap design.

Although the limitations of pitfall traps in respect to trait filtering and reflecting diversity and abundances in a habitat appropriately have been intensively discussed, the method is still the best standardized and comparable approach to study ground dwelling arthropods and due to comparative low handling time allows for sufficient replication ( Driscoll, 2010 Kotze et al., 2011).ĭifferent features of pitfall trap designs have undergone review and research over the last decades in order to improve and standardize trap designs: colour of traps ( Buchholz et al., 2010), the presence and colour of rain covers ( Buchholz & Hannig, 2009 Csázár et al., 2018), sampling intervals ( Schirmel et al., 2010), spatial distribution ( Ward, New & Yen, 2001), different preservatives ( Schmidt et al., 2006 Skvarla, Larson & Dowling, 2014) as well as pitfall trap diameters and the use of funnels ( Csázár et al., 2018 Lange, Gossner & Weisser, 2011).

Im also not threatening to give a bad review or tell my friends to not buy the game if i dont get it.įor primitive as well as full tech tree servers.Īnd im not threatening to QUIT unless i get it !! Im merely offering it up for feedback/discussion in a civil adult manner.Proposed nearly a century ago, pitfall traps remain one of the most commonly applied sampling methods in ecological field studies and are widely used for the assessment of ground dwelling arthropod taxa which are of high importance in modern ecosystem functioning research ( Brown & Matthews, 2016). Technically im admitting up front it might not be possible so keep that in mind please. I realize with the world and the way if you glitch through it this mignt never be possible but id like to at least bring it up to everyone and get feedback. Im thinking of 1 you can craft that sinks down lower than the surface not built entirely above it.ġ of these seems alot funner and realistic/less work then the other. I realize alot of ppl have taming pits for raptors and smaller critters.

IF he lands in the pit i can again tame him through a few windows or from the cliff top.The same pit can be ised as a trap to capture other dinos to kill/harvest. Get agro, run to the ladder, decesnd into the pit and close the door behind me and and hope he lands in the pit and not off to 1 side or im dead meat.

Off of a cliff or mntside make a box with a dino gate at 1 end just off the edge of the mnt/cliff.

The reality using existing game mechanics. If you just ewanted to kill dinos then spikes at the bottom with 1 clear walkway to harvest the dinos once the spikes killed them. Once tames getting him out could be an issue but a makeshift crane is a possibility i suppose. he falls in pit, mad as hell and i tame him at my leisure. I find him/her and attract its attention with a xbow bolt to the butt !! I haul ♥♥♥ back twords my pit and across the catwalk suspended over it, i can use it the Rex cant. ( The "pit " is craftable and can be place on semi-level ground, extending down under the surface of the earth like foundations used to b4 they fixed them. Ive dug a pit deep enough to trap/tame the thing now i need to lure it.

Im looking for a t-rex to tame in a location ive seen them from time to time.
