... (Friend 1984; Webb 1999), single pits with their associated drift fences, were trialled. The centre of each site was marked with a 1.8m steel post (Figure 2) to allow easy site establishment and subsequent relocation. Six pitfall traps were placed equi-distant (25 m apart) in a circle of 25 m radius...
