Estimates of time to sample, process, and analyze Hester–Dendy (HD) versus Hess samples. Estimates are based on a 1 month colonization period for HD samples. Travel time was not accounted for which increases HD sampling time as more trips to each site are required for that method. 1 day = 8 h.
| Task | Hester–Dendy | Hess |
|---|---|---|
| Deploying | 1 day | N/A |
| Clearing debris | 3 days | N/A |
| Collecting | 1 day | 1 day |
| Processing | ∼2.5 h per sample | ∼4 h per sample |
| Identification | ∼2 h per sample | ∼3 h per sample |
| Total time (15 samples) | 13.5 days | 14.1 days |
