Abstract
In order to determine the duration of periods of activity in alpine invertebrate populations at the IBP sites Stigstuv, Hardangervidda, and to investigate respiration rates, regular measurements were taken throughout the year for various species (Steigen, 1975). This is a description of consumption for two Collembola species, Isotoma viridis Bourlet and Tetracanthella britannica Cassagnau collected at the Stigstuv wet meadow site. Collembolas were relatively easy to collect during winter compared to other animals with a lower abundance. It was preferable to work with freshly collected material than laboratory cultures. For a description of the site, see Solhøy (1972) and Sonesson et al. (1975).
