Mole Census Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effective mole control is often difficult to achieve. Various types of traps, baits, and fumigants have been developed over the years to reduce mole damage to lawns, golf courses, and other areas. Two studies were conducted in the St. Louis, Missouri area to field test products currently registered by the EPA for mole control. Reliable census methods are required to determine efficacy. The best method used was the hole punch method. It consisted of punching 1.9-2.5 cm diameter holes (using a blunt end broom stick) into the top of a mole shallow tunnel. The punched holes were examined 48 hours later. If a live mole remained within the tunnel system, the holes were neatly plugged by the mole with fresh soil. Pages 114-116 in C. D. Lee and S.E.

Considering the di culties, the Census Bureau does a remarkably good job at counting people. There are two current techniques for evaluating or adjusting the census: (i) demographic analysis uses administrative records to make independent population estimates, which can be compared to census counts; (ii) data from an independent sample survey can be used to estimate population coverage. If ther...

Ultrasonic-assisted method was applied for preparation of Cu+2-doped ZnS nanoparticles (mole fractions of Cu+2 ions are 0.000, 0.015, 0.030 and 0.060) in water as a template-free and green method at 30 min. The prepared nanoparticles were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS)...
