INSECTS AND ARACHNIDS OF BATHURST ISLAND, CANADIAN ARCTIC ARCHIPELAGO
Abstract Terrestrial arthropods collected from Bathurst Island in 1969 are listed: 78 species (4 spiders, 13 mites, and 61 insects, 30 of which are chironomids) have now been collected in this area of the high arctic. Notes on the overwintering of some of the commoner insect species are given. Altho...
