Seasonal Patterns of Abundance of Tundra Arthropods near Barrow

Arthropods active on the surface of the tundra near Barrow, Alaska, were trapped throughout four summer seasons (1966-1969), using "sticky-board" traps. More than 95% of the arthropods (excluding Acarina and Collembola) captured were of the order Diptera. Adults of most species of Diptera...
