Sampling comments: "A pit-trap survey was conducted in mallee scrub from December 1986 to September 1990... Pits were opened for 8 days and 7 nights at the beginning of each month. The first eighteen months were conducted under drought conditions" and there were 46 months, so the post-drought data apply to 28 months
"Pit-traps consisted of plastic buckets 300mm in dia. by 400mm deep... A 400mm high flywire fence was run" and there were three lines at each of two sites during the post-drought months, with nine buckets at Site A and nine buckets at Site B
7 x 28 = 196 nights and 2784 pit-trap nights
