Overview
Researchers from the University of Maryland, Department of Entomology have designed a novel collection device for soil-dwelling organisms, specifically arthropods. The unique collection chamber is designed to accommodate large samples that include soil and detritus.Sampling devices currently on the market are not designed to collect such large amounts of soil and leaf litter along with the soil-dwelling organisms, or are only designed for arthropod collection on a smaller scale.
A prototype has been built and tested, with excellent results. Patent pending.
