Beneficial arthropods provide many important ecosystem services. In agroecosystems, pollination and control of crop pests provide benefits worth billions of dollars annually. Effective sampling and monitoring of these beneficial arthropods is essential for ensuring their short- and long-term viability and effectiveness. There are numerous methods available for sampling beneficial arthropods in a variety of habitats, and these methods can vary in efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper I review active and passive sampling methods for non- bees and arthropod natural enemies of agricultural pests, including methods for sampling flying insects, arthropods on vegetation and in soil and litter environments, and estimation of predation and parasitism rates. Sample sizes, lethal sampling, and the potential usefulness of bycatch are also discussed.
有益节肢动物提供许多重要的生态系统服务。在农业生态系统中，授粉和控制农作物害虫每年带来价值数十亿美元的益处。对这些有益节肢动物进行有效的采样和监测，对于确保它们的短期和长期生存能力及有效性至关重要。有许多方法可用于在各种栖息地对有益节肢动物进行采样，这些方法在效率和有效性方面可能有所不同。在本文中，我回顾了针对农业害虫的非蜜蜂类和节肢动物天敌的主动和被动采样方法，包括用于采样飞行昆虫、植被上以及土壤和凋落物环境中的节肢动物的方法，以及捕食和寄生率的估计。还讨论了样本大小、致死采样以及兼捕物的潜在用途。
