arthropod community of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) canopies in Norway.-
Entomol. Fennica 15: 65–90.
We summarise the findings of arthropods collected by fogging the canopy of 24 pine trees in two sites inEastern andWestern Norway. From the samples, taken in 1998 and in 1999, almost 30,000 specimens were determined to 512 species,with Diptera being most species rich (210 species), followed by Coleoptera (76 species) and Araneae (49 species). Of the 96 new species records, nine were new to science (5 Diptera and 4 Oribatida), two were new to the European, three to the Scandinavian and 82 to the Norwegian faunas. The paper demonstrates the need for detailed faunistical inventories of European forests.
