| dc.description.abstract | Complete assessments of termite assemblages in tropical rain forests are notoriously troublesome. We show that an automated method for the extraction of soil fauna from the soil, the so-called Kempson extractor, can be successfully applied to reduce sample processing time to about half the time (56%) needed for handsorting of similar samples, with no detectable trade-off in the variability of recorded individual numbers and in the frequency of samples with termites. | en |
