Colémbolos (Hexapoda, Collembola) asociados con carpóforos de basidiomicetes recolectados en el SW de Cataluña

Collembola (Hexapoda, Collembola) associated with Basidiomycetes sporocarps in SW
Catalonia. We have studied the collembola species found in basidiomata of 41 different species of fungi
belonging to the Class Basidiomycetes, collected in several districts of the mediterranean SW Catalonia. We have found 5575 individuals of collembola of nine different species. Ceratophysella tergilobata represents the 99,8% of the total individuals and is present in the 94,8% of analysed basidiomata. In consequence this
species must be considered an habitual inhabitant of the basidiomata of the mediterranean districts of Catalonia. The examination of the gut content of the studied col1embola reveals that their relationship with the basidiomata is of nutritional type.
