Abstract:

This methodology-oriented paper proposes a number of new zooindicative indices assessing microsite diversity based on the modified Pulliam theory. The original theory has been modified so that the "source & sink" concept could be used for the purposes of zooindication. In the present paper, the following indices are tested on data regarding populations and communities of invertebrates of the coastal variety of Scots pine forest:the share of sources (UC), sinks (UP) and standard (US) in the area occupied by the com-munity, an index of microsite preferences of a species (cs) and an index of utilization of site heterogeneity by a given species (Cs’). Microsite diversity was also assessed using data regarding the coastal pine forest of Mierzeja Łebska Sand Bar.
