Abstract/Contents: | "Populations of the southern mole cricket, Scapteriscus acletus Rehn and Hebard (4-dot form), were established in 3.1 m diameter (7.6 m2) tanks. Each tank was divided into pie-shaped quadrants, with surface coverings of fine sand, shredded cypress bark, `Tifway' bermudagrass (Cynodon x magenissii (Hurcombe) and `Floratum' St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze). Pitfall sampling showed the surface movement pattern of the southern mole cricket was sifnificantly greater (5% level) in bare sand than in areas with turfgrass. The order of site preference (% of catch) was sand (40.0%)>bark (28.8%)>bermudagrass (20.0%)>St. Augustinegrass (11.3%). More than 5% of available mole crickets were trapped each day for the first 7 days and the mean daily catch for 14 days was 5.7% of the available crickets." |
