Studies on the population dynamic of Mamestra brassicae (L.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were conducted during 1988-1992 in order to improve forecasting and control. The influence of temperature on development, fecundity and survival were investigated in climatic chambers, and lower developmental thresholds and thermal requirements were established for the preoviposition period and the immature stages. Pheromone traps were tested in cabbage fields at 5 locations in south-eastern Norway during 1989-1991. The trap catches were low at all locations and years, and the traps could therefore not be recommended for practical monitoring. A degree-day model for prediction of favourable times for assessment of infestation level and insecticide application was developed, validated and implemented. Mortality in the immature stages, and larval dispersal, was investigated in the laboratory and in the field. Highest mortality was found in first instar larvae and in hibernating pupae. The mortality in first instar larvae was probably caused by failure to locate and establish feeding sites and predation, whereas the winter loss probably was caused by unfavourable weather conditions. Life tables for five generations of a natural population of M. brassicae on white cabbage in Ås during 1988-1992 was constructed and analysed. Generation survival was very low, and the key factor was mortality in small larvae. The stage specific mortality appeared to be mainly density-independent. Parasitoids and pathogens were of little importance in controlling the M. brassicae population, although they were more or less persistently present throughout the experimental period. Trichogramma semblidis (Aurivillius) (Trichogrammatidae) was reared from eggs, and Microplitis mediator (Haliday) and Aleiodes (Aleiodes) sp., both Braconidae, were reared from larvae. Erynia virescens (Entomophtorales) was identified in medium and large larvae. Implications of the results in this study for integrated pest management is discussed, and management tactics are proposed.

The relationship between the mycetophilid fauna and a set of environmental variables was studied in spruce forests of southeastern Norway. At the stand level, the continuous presence of wood in all decay stages combined with a tree cover appeared to be a major factor for increasing the species richness of mycetophilids. However, the spatial representation of suitable stands in the landscape seems to be particularly important, since the % area of oldgrowth in the surrounding 100 km showed the strongest influence on both species richness and abundance within individual species. The present findings indicate that conservation of a species-rich mycetophilid fauna requires networks of stands within dispersal distances. A reserve network in southern Norway should give special priority to little disturbed forests in the more remote sub-montane areas, since they appear to be very species-rich, and since their strong populations may provide a long-term viability of many mycetophilid species.

A high trapping efficiency was found both for window traps and trunk-window traps, while the efficiency of extraction cylinders was low. Trunk-window traps are suitable for comparison of different substrates within the same forest environment, while comparative studies of different forest environments are more difficult, due to baiting effects. Window trap captures are more suitable for comparing different forest environments, but are related to ecological conditions over wide areas, and are almost unaffected by substrate conditions in the near surroundings of the traps

There is a growing awareness to preserve the biodiversity in the forest ecosystems. A first step in biodiversity research is to find out what species really are found in the forest, using the scientific tool named taxonomy. Still there are species-rich groups of forest insects which have been poorly researched, and which include several unclearities concerning the species identities. One such group is the free-developing gall midges connected with litter, dead wood and fungi in the ground layer of the forest. This papers intends to improve the taxonomy of one genus in this group - Anaretella (Enderlein 1911), including the description of two new species and a key to the current species within the Holarctic region
