Agriculture
Spanish term or phrase: Monitoreos etológicos mediante trampeo
This is an article dealing with food safety in agricultural practices, etc.. The whole point is as follows:

• Monitoreos etológicos mediante trampeo.
i. Conteos.
ii. Establecimiento de grados de incidencia y severidad
iii. A partir de los monitoreo se definen las acciones tomadas.

I had been thinking perhaps "monitoring of pest incidence by using traps", something to that effect. Would appreciate any input.

Thanks.

Behavior monitoring using traps


Explanation:
Judging from the context, I think this is what it means, i.e., using the traps to detect behaviors such as peak flight activity, mating activity, egg-laying activity, etc. to determine when and if a control measure is needed. For some reason I can't cut and paste the links, but googling ethology/etologia takes you right to the English and Spanish wikipedia sites, respectively, where this term is explained.

Loas dos primeras referencias se refieren a temas ecológico y la última al tema etológico. Creo que tienes razón en utilizar "tramps".

disagree  John Speese: Que quieres decir con "tramps"? Tramp significa vagabundo o mendigo y no tiene nada que ver con la agricultura.
