Habitat: tropical/subtropical savanna

Altered habitat: cropland

Substrate: ground surface

MAP: 1000.0

Habitat comments: "a grassy savanna" that "is characterized by a Sudano-Sahelian climate" and specifically "a 2.3ha plot in 8 ha of neighbouring rice fields surrounded by other cereals, mainly maize and sorghum"
the "temperature range" is 13 to 42º C (apparently meaning record lows and highs)
MAP is a minimum estimate

Life forms: ground beetles, rove beetles

Sampling methods: line transect, pitfall traps

Sample size: 1024 individuals

Years: 1995

Nets or traps: 16

Net or trap nights: 0

Basal area status: not applicable

Sampling comments: "Eight pitfall traps were placed at a 12-m distance from each other, along each of the two field transects selected at 15 and 100 m from the bottom of the plot... The traps were emptied weekly" (number of sampling days is unclear, although it is possible that monitoring was continual for a year)
exactly the same data were published by Woin et al. (2006, Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection)
