This difference is undoubtedly rootet in the fact that the grassl<strong>an</strong>d has a richer flora (0vstedal 1978), <strong>an</strong>d more Macrolepidoptera c<strong>an</strong> hence find suitable foodpl<strong>an</strong>ts in this habitat. However, while the species richness among Noctuidae in the heath was only slightly lower th<strong>an</strong> on the grassl<strong>an</strong>d, the difference between the two habitats was more pronounced in Geometridae. S0rensen's quotient <strong>of</strong> similarity also shows that the Noctuidae faunas in the two habitats are more similar th<strong>an</strong> the Geometridae faunas. This difference might be connected with the windy climate. Based on light trap catches Williams (1940) demonstrated a strong n<strong>eg</strong>ative correlation between wind velocity <strong>an</strong>d the flight activity <strong>of</strong> insects, <strong>an</strong>d also that Noctuidae are less affected by wind th<strong>an</strong> the average other insects. The generally more slender, broad-winged Geometridae might therefore be more vulnerable th<strong>an</strong> the Noctuidae in the open wind exposed heathl<strong>an</strong>ds on northern Sotra, <strong>an</strong>d Geometridae from neighbouring habitats might therefore generally be more reluct<strong>an</strong>t to fly across heath terrain. The higher similarity between the Noctuidae faunas in the heath <strong>an</strong>d on the grassl<strong>an</strong>d, as shown by S0rensen's quotient, might accordingly be <strong>an</strong> expression <strong>of</strong> a higher dispersal ability <strong>of</strong> Noctuidae in a windy climate. The flight activity <strong>of</strong> the Geometridae inhabiting the heaths seems, however, not to be seriously supressed by wind, as the family constituted 40 % 101
