2 | estimate of active beetles, inferred* from adjoining date ranges | |
| actual count > 7 (median) | ||
| actual count <= 7 (median) | ||
| *Inferred when a site has counts of active beetles for each of two consecutive
periods (date ranges), one finishing and the other starting in the same
quarter-month. The count estimate is assigned to that quarter-month and calculated as the lower of the two total beetle counts, divided by the number of quarter-months in its date range. | ||
