Abstract

Trapping of three species of diplopods, viz. Cylindroiulus punctatus (Leach), Tachypodoiulus niger (Leach) and Polydesmus angustus Latzel with pitfall traps in areas with known densities follows a definite mathematical relationship. The number of each species trapped is density dependent upto a lavel: beyond that the increased density levels are not proportionately reflected in the catches. Ecological and mathematical implications of the observations are discussed.
