Abstract

V originále

Macroinvertebrates of 11 spring fen sites in the Western Carpathians were sampled quantitatively in 2005 in two habitats (flowing and moist) at each site (66 samples). Altogether, 75 taxa were recorded (Diptera was not included in presented results). Insecta represented most of the number of taxa, but non-insect taxa highly dominated in total abundance in all sites. A cluster analysis of macroinvertebrate assemblages separated the studied fens into five clusters which were in accordance with the results of detrended correspondence analysis (DCA). Each cluster was characteristic by different set of taxa dominated in macroinvertebrate assemblage: the amphipod-oligochaete-dominated assemblage was associated with tufa-forming fens, the mollusc-dominated assemblage with grassland fens, the oligochaete-mollusc-dominated assemblage with peat-forming fens, the mollusc-stonefly and the oligochaete-stonefly assemblages with Sphagnum fens.
