dct:abstract

I collected beetles from ten nest boxes of kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) in Southern Finland during 2009-2016. All the nest boxes were attached to walls of old barns in agricultural environments. The beetles were caught using open, shallow plastic boxes, covered by 6 mm iron mesh, and half-filled with water, detergent and sea salt. Traps were placed in the nest boxes only after successful breeding, when the fledglings had left the nest. Altogether there were samples from 23 %22trap seasons%22. The samples contained 40 species and 370 individuals of beetles. The most frequent ones were staphylinid species Atheta vaga, Phyllodrepa nigra and Dexiogyia forticornis, and histerid species Carcinops pumilio and Gnathoncus rotundatus. One threatened species (vulnerable Gnathoncus nidorum) and two near-threatened species (Ptinus podolicus (Anobiidae) and Cryptophagus fallax (Cryptophagidae)) were observed. In addition, the samples contained several rarely observed species associated with bird nests. The trap described here can be used in large nests boxes of other birds, too, such as owls.
