Table
1. Quantitative and qualitative survey results for the Crematogaster fauna of the La Selva Biological
Station, Heredia Province, Costa Rica. Data are from Longino et al. (2002) plus additional fogging data.
Cell values are number of collection events in which workers occurred. Berlese,
Winkler, and "Thompson" are all methods that sample the leaf litter
from the forest floor. Fogging events are the combined catch from 40 1m2
funnels placed beneath a fogged canopy tree. "Longino" is my
qualitative hand collecting at the site. "Other" is miscellaneous
qualitative collecting by various methods and researchers. See Longino et
al. (2002) for details.
Species with an asterisk are known from single queens.
