Local diversity versus geographical distribution of arthropods occuring in a sandstone rock labyrinth
The patterns of air temperatures and the assemblages of arthropods were studied along the environmental gradient in the Poseidon Sandstone Labyrinth within the Adršpašsko-Teplické Skály National Nature Reserve, NE Bohemia, Czech Republic. The mean annual temperature in the bottom portions of the lab...
