Abstract

Various invertebrates, nematodes, oligochaetes, harpacticoids, tardigrades, cladocerans, mites, larvae of dipteran insects (tipulids, ceratopogonids and chironomids), appeared internivean and supranivean in Akashibo snow, a kind of red snow in the Ozegahara Mire, an extensive marshland in Central Japan (altitude 1400 m, area 7.6 km2). Densities of total animals were 2.4-3.6×104 ind m-2 in internivean and 0.3-2.2×103 ind m-2 on supranivean. These invertebrates seemed to migrate up from the peat surface into snow due to a decline of decrease in oxygen concentrations at subnivean environments and in/on snow during the development of Akashibo. The food web on Akashibo snow is discussed from the viewpoint of snow ecology.
