AT Finse, situated at 1,200 m above sea level in the mountain plateau of Hardangervidda, Norway, adult Pelophila borealis (Coleoptera, Carabidae) overwinter in the soil of a sedimentation flat1. During the winter the flat is periodically flooded by the adjacent river, and consequently covered by a layer of ice. Sixty to 120 cm of snow covers the ground from late September until early June. Soil temperatures at the beetle's overwintering sites are normally slightly below 0° C, but rarely drop… CONTINUE READING
