Optimizing sampling protocols: is it feasible to collect predatory beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae and Carabidae) using dung beetle (Scarabaeinae) traps in soybean fields and native vegetation areas in Brazil?

Optimizing sampling protocols can improve data reliability while reducing sampling effort. As sampling methods for dung beetles are well established, testing their efficiency for other key beetle groups, such as Carabidae and Staphylinidae, may help refine sampling approaches. Bo...
