Legend | |
| number of active beetles, actually recorded in that quarter-month |
| estimate of active beetles, inferred* from adjoining date ranges |
| actual count > 1.5 (median) |
| actual count <= 1.5 (median) |
| inferred* active beetles only (mostly from colour lure trap results) |
| live non-emerged (inactive) beetles only |
| *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). |
