2.3 Statistical analysis
Three independent factors, “cover” with two levels (covered and open), “diameter” with two levels (large and small), and “type” with two levels (funnel and cup), were tested for three months (March, April, and May) for the four scorpion species, Scorpio maurus (Pocock, 1900), Hemiscorpius lepturus Peters, 1861, Odontobuthus bidentatus (Lourenço & Pézier 2002), and Buthacus tadmorensis(Simon 1892). The scorpion species and the number of individuals of each species caught with the different types of traps are listed in Table 2.
