Abstract:
In 1995, the merolimnic insect fauna of two woodland spring biotops in the Kuppenrhoen was studied using emergence traps. 16 trichopteran, 6 plecopteran and 2 ephemeropteran species were recorded. They contributed 9,2 % to the total number of caught adult insects. The similarities and the differences in the coenoses of the two springs are discussed in connexion with abiotic factors. Emergence diagramms show the phenology of the most abundant species.
