This hypthesis was tested in a field trial by wrapping alternate traps in tekken. If beetles are bouncing off traps, we would expect to see more captured in those wrapped in tekken. However, we observed no significant difference in trap capture rate. Unwrapped traps caught 0.30 beetles per trap-day, wrapped traps caught 0.26 beetles per trap-day (p = 0.56; permutation test).\n", "\n", "The beetles caught in traps wrapped in tekken were located as follows:\n", "\n", "- 34 entangled in tekken on side of net\n", "- 31 entangled in tekken covering the cone at the top of the trap\n", "- 8 'at large' in the receptacle at the botton of the trap\n", "- 3 entangled in tekken covering the funnel at the top of the trap\n", "\n", "## Methods\n", "\n", "Two transects of panel traps were established in southern Guam. Alternate traps were wrapped in tekken. Traps were visited weekly and captured beetles were counted. For traps wrapped in tekken, the location of each beetle was recorded. During each visit, traps were moved to the next station within each transect.\n", "\n", "## Analysis\n", "\n", "Data were stored in a CSV file, 'trapCatch.csv', and analysed using the IPython notebook, 'Netted Panel Traps Experiment to See if CRB are Deflected'." ] }, { "cell_type": "code", "execution_count": 1, "metadata": { "collapsed": false }, "outputs": [], "source": [ "%matplotlib inline\n", "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt\n", "import numpy as np\n", "import pandas as pd" ] }, { "cell_type": "markdown", "metadata": {}, "source": [ "### Get data from CSV file" ] }, { "cell_type": "code", "execution_count": 2, "metadata": { "collapsed": false }, "outputs": [ { "data": { "text/html": [ "
