Forty plots of 3 m radius were established within the LFDP with a minimum of 60 m between plots. Each plot was visited four times from 5-26 July 2001, between 20:00 and 02:00 h. A minimum of 3 days was allowed between samples at the same plot. For a minimum of 15 minutes at each point, all habitats were searched for P. longipes without disturbing rocks or dead wood. Substrate (e.g., tree trunk, rock, leaf litter) and distance to the nearest major horizontal surface were recorded for each individual. Using dial calipers, individuals were measured to the nearest mm from the tip of the abdomen to the front of the cephalothorax. In addition, the distance was measured from each individual to the nearest horizontal surface.
