摘要：

In a neotropical cloud forest of Costa Rica, the numerically dominant invertebrate groups in both canopy humus and forest floor leaf litter were mites, adult beetles, holometabolous insect larvae, ants, Collembola, amphipods, and isopods. Relative abundances of these major taxa were the same in canopy and on the forest floor. All of these groups except ants had significantly higher densities in the canopy, with a mean density 2.6 times greater on the ground than in the canopy. Ant density was similar in both microhabitats. -from Authors
