A 9-year study of the life cycle of Ephemera danica Müll. (Ephemeridae: Ephemeroptera) in the River Lambourn, England

Abstract. 1. The life cycle of the mayfly, Ephemera danica , was studied on two contrasted sites on the River Lambourn between 1971 and 1979.
2. Quantitative samples of nymphs were taken on the five major biotopes of the river bed, gravel, silt, Ranunculus, Berula and Callitriche . Exposed areas of gravel and silt held significantly lower densities of nymphs than the three macro-phytes with their underlying substrata. The sandy substratum underlying beds of Berula frequently held significantly higher densities than the other macrophytes.
3. Monthly samples from March 1971 to April 1972 followed by samples in June and December from 1972 to 1979 indicated that the nymphal phase normally took 2 years in the River Lambourn.
4. All odd-numbered years from 1971 to 1979 produced weak year-classes. In contrast, all even-numbered years between 1970 and 1978, with the exception of 1972, produced relatively strong year-classes.
5. Meteorological data for the period of flight activity in E.danica indicated that conditions were colder and damper in 1972 than in the other even-numbered years of the study, when recruitment was more successful.

The immigration of spiders (Araneida) into a new polder

Abstract. (1) The immigration of spiders into the Lauwerszeepolder (constructed in 1969) was studied during four years in four areas. The spider fauna was sampled weekly and 65 000 specimens of eighty-four species were caught using strip traps, window traps, simple pitfall traps and fences.
(2) About sixty species from all kinds of habitats were caught rarely; nineteen species were caught in numbers that suggest that they had established populations in the study areas.
(3) The four successful pioneer species, plus two marsh-dwelling species, were most abundant during 1969 and 1970. The 1971 catch was dominated by species from saline habitats; they became less abundant in 1972 when species from non-saline habitats increased. Only halotolerant species established populations.
(4) No evidence was found that dispersing spiders select certain areas. The differences between the spider fauna of the differennt study areas arise from degrees of success in colonization by immigrants. Pioneer species are least influenced by the abiotic environment.
(5) A greater aeronautic dispersal power is found in species inhabiting unstable habitats than in species from stable habitats.
(6) Aeronautic activity in adult linyphiids (s.l.) is not restricted to a special season, but is related to definite phases of the phenology.
(7) Male and female erigonids are equally active in aeronautic behaviour. In erigonids and linyphiids intense aeronautic activity coincides with great ground activity; on the ground males are more active than females.

The abundance and reproductive activity of common Carabidae in a winter wheat crop

Abstract. 1. The number of common carabid beetles trapped-irr a wheat field on a clay with flint soil from May to October in.1971–77 differed greatly: Harpalus rufipes and Pterostichus melanarius were numerous every year; but the appearance of H.aeneus, P.madidus, Agonum dorsale, Nebria brevicollis, Notiophilus biguttatus, Bembidion lampros and Trechus quadristriatus was much more variable.
2. The numbers caught were not correlated with rainfall. Catches of the large species were positively correlated with accumulated temperature above an assumed activity threshold of 5°C, whereas the smaller beetles were negatively correlated with accumulated temperature, suggesting that the danger of desiccation at high temperatures limits their activity.
3. The egg-laying periods of the commonest species were: B.lampros and A.dorsale from late April to June; overwintered P.melanarius, H.rufipes and H.aeneus in May and June, with the summer generation of these species and of P.madidus from July to September; T.quadristriatus during August and September; N.brevicollis from September to November; N.biguttatus and C.fossor laid in the early summer and again in the autumn.
4. A few male and female H.rufipes and H.aeneus , and one female P.melanarius and N.brevicollis were each parasitized by a single tachinid larva; one P.melanarius was infested with a mermithid parasite.
