Shrew trap efficiency: experience from primary forest, secondary forest, old fallow land and old palm plantation in the Congo River basin (Kisangani, Democratic Republic of Congo) Universiteit Antwerpen
We investigated the efficiency of four trap types ( pitfall, Sherman LFA, Victor snap and Museum Special snap traps) to capture shrews.
