Resultados preliminares obtenidos a partir de una trampa Malaise situada en una zona mediterránea pirenaica

Abstract

In this article data about the several Orders of arthropods captured using a Malaise trap, at Santa Coloma (Andorra), after a one-year cycle is reported. Up to 141.522 specimens have been collected, belonging to 20 different Orders. About 99.5% of the captures are insects, of which 74.1°/o are Diptera, 15.2% are Hymenoptera and 5.8% are Homoptera. These three groups together represent 95% of the arthropods. Annual phenology of the different groups and their relationship with the weather is discussed. Generally, the peaks of abundance of the main groups are registered in the second stage of the spring and the first one of the summer. It is due to the xerothermic conditions of the locality.
