- Abstract
Assesses diel animal habitat use in three shallow ponds, using unbaited funnel traps, a large column sampler, and sweep net collections in the upper stratum of littoral and open habitats. When more animals were caught in all three ponds, indicating that use of near-surface waters was greatest at night, particularly in the fishless ponds; How all methods yielded similar patterns; Results indicating that nocturnal observations of pond animals are necessary to describe their ecology, even in fishless ponds where diel differences in habitat use or behavior might not be anticipated.
