A comparative study on trapping effect of two baits for flies
Objective To study on the difference between sugar-vinegar bait and rotten fish-scraps bait in fly trapping effect.Methods The fly occurrence and population composition data was from field flies collected by cage trapping method using sugar-vinegar bait and rotten fish-scraps bait respectively.Bayesian paired sample t-test and Bayesian correlation pairs of JASP 0.11.1.0 were used for statistical analysis.Results 18 species of flies in 10 genera from Musidae,Caliphoridae,Sarcophagidae and Anthomyiidae were collected by sugar-vinegar bait and rotten fish-scraps bait.There was no significant difference in number of fly species in above four families collected by two baits(BF10=2.431).Sugar-vinegar bait showed a better significant trapping effect than rotten fish-scraps bait in the dominant population,Muscidae flies(BF10=64.981).Rotten fish-scraps bait showed a better significant trapping effect than sugar-vinegar bait in the dominant population,Calliphoridae flies(BF10=36.277).Among farmers'market,external environment of restaurant,green belt,and residential area,there were most flies collected by two above baits in farmers'market,but not significant difference between any two above habitats(BF10<10).The fly density in rotten fish-scraps bait was significantly higher than in sugar and vinegar bait(BF10=204.885),and showed moderately linearly correlation between the two baits(Kendall's tau-b=0.504,BF10=26.594).Conlusion Sugar-vinegar bait could be used as a universal bait for cage trapping method in fly surveillance.
