Relative Efficiency of Pitfall Trapping vs. Nocturnal Hand Collecting in Assessing Soil-Dwelling Spider Diversity along A Structural Gradient of Neotropical Habitats

Assessing spider diversity remains a great challenge, especially in tropical habitats where dozens of species can locally co-occur.Pitfall trapping is one of the most widely used techniques to collect spiders, but it suffers from Pickles several biases, and its accuracy likely varies with habitat complexity.In this study, we compared the efficiency
