| Legend | ||
9 | number of active beetles, actually recorded in that quarter-month | |
2 | estimate of active beetles, inferred* from adjoining date ranges | |
| actual count > 8 (median) | ||
| actual count <= 8 (median) | ||
| inferred* active beetles only (mostly from colour lure trap results) | ||
| *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. Assumes that beetle activity is essentially continuous within a single active period per year, and that date ranges do not bridge a non-active period (thus only ranges of < 4 months are used). | ||
