American Midland Naturalist, 1975•JSTORDense aggregations of Collembola (Hypogastrura nivicola Fitch) move across the surface of
the forest floor in central New England in the autumn and spring for distances of 20-25 m
before disappearing. Colonies 30 cm in diam have populations of 0.5-1 million individuals.
Hourly movement is as much as 75 cm and daily movement as much as 6 m. Overland
movement ceases at night or when colonies are covered by black plastic sheeting.
