BSP] – tamarack [ Larix laricina (DuRoi) K. Koch] – Sphagnum bog in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, was sampled from early June to mid-August with yellow pan traps and emergence traps. The yield was 5734 beetles, in 30 families. Ptiliidae was the most numerically abundant and Staphylinidae was the most taxonomically diverse. Carabidae was second in diversity and third in numerical abundance. The abundance and ecological implications of some individual species are discussed. Few of the species are bog-specific. The faunal composition suggests that the bog is in a late-succession phase and that most of the beetle species are derived from adjacent habitats.","PeriodicalId":358634,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130819904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"TERRESTRIAL ARTHROPODS OF CANADIAN PEATLANDS: SYNOPSIS OF PAN TRAP COLLECTIONS AT FOUR SOUTHERN ONTARIO PEATLANDS","authors":"D. Blades, S. Marshall","doi":"10.4039/ENTM126169221-1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4039/ENTM126169221-1","url":null,"abstract":"This report is a synopsis of the terrestrial arthropod faunas collected from four peatlands in southern Ontario. The peatlands surveyed were the Wylde Lake bog (43°55′N, 80°30′W), Crieff fen (43°25′N, 80°07′W), Oliver bog (43°20′N, 80°16′W), and the Wainfleet bog (42°55′N, 79°17′W). Arthropods were collected in yellow pan traps (aluminum pan traps at Wainfleet) during the period May 1987 to June 1988 (including the period of snow cover from December to March). A total of 33 029 specimens were removed from the pan trap samples and of these 17 173 individuals were assigned to species. Between 603 and 870 species of arthropods were identified from each site. Collections from each site were compared using taxonomic and ecological groupings (based on feeding behaviour and habitat preference) of species. Sorensen's Index of Similarity was used to compare the overlap of species among sites. The Hymenoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, and Araneae were the most species-rich orders collected at each site. More species preferring peatlands were collected at each of the three undisturbed peatlands (Wylde L., Crieff, and Oliver) than at the mined bog, Wainfleet. Species not usually associated with peatlands were more numerous in the Wainfleet collection than in collections from the undisturbed sites. It is concluded that grouping of species by habitat preference is a useful technique for assessing habitat disturbance.","PeriodicalId":358634,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the Entomological Society of Canada","volume":"209 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116487431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
