Abstract

The study deals with the effectiveness of light traps in catching 25 species of caddisfly (Trichoptera) in connection with the height of tropopause. According to our results the catch of some species rises, in contrast other reduce in relation to the height of the tropopause.The results can be written down with second- or third-degree polynomials. Further testing will be required to provide a fuller explanation of the results.
