  1. The annual mean of monthly maximum abundance (M) ± standard deviation (SD) for each species during the whole trapping period are presented by location (n = number of trap-nights). The annual mean of maximum monthly abundance was the mean of the 12 maximum collections made at each site. *5 dominant species.
