Repeated survey along the foreland of a receding Norwegian glacier reveals shifts in succession of beetles and spiders
Glacier forelands provide important sites to study climate-forced ecological succession because a chronosequence is apparent along a single valley. However, most studies of invertebrate succession in forelands provide a single snapshot of community assemblage patterns. With glaciers retreating rapidly worldwide, it is important to begin re-surveying community composition and assessing changes in relation to new terrain revealed by the retreating …
Chronosequences of ant nest mounds from glacier forelands of Jostedalsbreen, southern Norway
Red wood ant nest mounds were investigated on terrain deglaciated since the mid-18th century at three outlet glaciers of the Jostedalsbreen ice cap in southern Norway. Chronosequence methodology was combined with a geo-ecological approach in the context of autecology. Size and composition of 168 mounds, most of which belonged to Formica lugubris, were related to terrain age, vegetation characteristics and physical habitat types using non-metric m…
Succession of pitfall-trapped insects and arachnids on eight Norwegian glacier forelands along an altitudinal gradient
Invertebrate primary succession based on pitfall traps is described in eight glacier-foreland chronosequences across a major geo-ecological gradient in the Jotunheimen and Jostedalsbreen subregions of southern Norway. Regional (predominantly altitudinal) and local environmental gradients are shown to be effective influences on the nature and rate of colonization and succession at both species- and community-levels of analysis. Inclusion of flying…
Testing the ‘addition and persistence model’ of invertebrate succession in a subalpine glacier-foreland chronosequence
Invertebrate primary succession is investigated across a chronosequence in the subalpine (birch woodland) zone at Fåbergstølsbreen using pitfall traps. Presence and abundance of taxa, functional groups and communities are examined using a geo-ecological approach including mapping, graphical analysis, two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMS). Twenty-nine of the 67 recorded taxa, and 14 of the 37 e…
Insect and arachnid colonization on the Storbreen glacier foreland, Jotunheimen, Norway
This article investigates colonization patterns of invertebrates on recently deglaciated terrain (Storbreen, Jotunheimen, Norway) and their implications for primary succession theory. Taxa were collected using 243 pitfall traps across a 250 yr chronosequence of six age zones. Distribution and abundance were analysed, communities were mapped, classified using TWINSPAN (Two-Way INdicator SPecies ANalysis), and ordinated using NMS (Non-metric Multid…
