Schematic view of the AMMOD experimental setup. ① Bioacoustics, microphones of the four-channel recording device (Chapters 6 and 7). ② ‘Smellscapes’, stationary module for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plants and fungi (Chapter 2). ③ ‘Moth scanner’, photographic imaging and identification of mostly-nocturnal flying insects (not presented here). ④ Camera trap, representing the automated visual monitoring of vertebrate animals, especially mammals (Chapter 8). ⑤ ‘Base station’, the communication and processing block for the sensor data and (partly) the electricity supply (Chapter 9). ⑥ Data management, the connection of the base station to the data portal (Chapter 10). ⑦ Automated ‘Malaise’ trap for catching flying insects (Chapters 4 and 5). ⑧ Automated pollen trap (Chapter 3). The material from both the insect and the pollen trap is subsequently analysed in the laboratory using Metabarcoding techniques. – Graphic design and creation: J. W. Wägele.
