Light Traps
In the February 1992 issue of the American Mathematical Monthly, J. E. Connett [1] asked whether it is possible to construct a 'light trap': a re ective-sided container with the property that a beam of light, shone into it from an appropriate direction, would be re ected inside it over and over again and never escape. Connett suggests that such a trap might be of value as a device to store ligh...
متن کاملAcid test for marine biodiversity
Much of the carbon dioxide released into Earth’s atmosphere by human activities is absorbed by the oceans. When dissolved in water, CO2 forms carbonic acid. Anthropogenic carbon emissions are therefore leading to global acidification of the surface ocean, with uncertain consequences for marine life. On page 96 of this issue, Hall-Spencer et al. describe conditions off the island of Ischia near ...
متن کاملComparison of Light Traps and Plankton Tows for Sampling Brachyuran Crab Larvae in an Alaskan Fjord
We compared the effectiveness of light traps and plankton tows for sampling brachyuran crab larvae in Bartlett Cove, Glacier Bay, Alaska, U.S.A. during three nights each in July and August 2001 and June, August, and September 2002. Proportions of species and stages were used to compare larvae caught by light traps and plankton tows. Absolute numbers of larvae are difficult to compare because of...
متن کاملEvaluation of light traps for sampling anopheline mosquitoes in Kilifi, Kenya.
Anopheline mosquitoes were sampled inside houses, where residents slept under untreated bednets, by CDC light traps and human-biting catches to evaluate light traps as a means for determining human exposure to malaria vectors in Kilifi District, Kenya. Mosquitoes were sampled during 2 all-night collections by light traps and one all-night biting catch in a series of 262 houses. Collections yiel...
متن کاملThe use of CDC light traps and other procedures for sampling malaria vectors in southern Iran.
An investigation was carried out over a year in the village of Chelow, Hormozgan Province, southern Iran, to study the efficacy of CDC light traps for sampling malaria vectors. The CDC light traps were useful in determining the seasonal and habitat distribution of Anopheles stephensi and An. fluviatilis, the primary and secondary vectors of malaria, in Chelow, as well as other mosquitoes in tha...
