Abstract

Malaise traps were set out in the Granville Forest,Westland during December 1997 to monitor insect populations in the intact forest and in four 0.1ha coupes that had been logged four years previously. The dry weights of Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, non-vespid Hymenoptera and Vespidae were determined and overall there was more biomass of V. vulgaris than all the other groups combined.We recommend that biomasses be determined in biodiversity studies in order to better describe the ecological role of any group of interest.
