This information will contribute towards an increased understanding of the species occurring in the park as well as in a broader context of Alberta.

Description

Willmore Wilderness Park is located in the northern portion of Alberta's Rocky Mountains just west of Grand Cache and north of Jasper National Park. Habitats suitable for odonates are found throughout the park and include ponds, peatlands, subalpine lakes and streams. Over the past eight years odonate surveys were a part of the biophysical inventories conducted by Alberta Parks within some of its wildland parks. The western portion of Willmore Wilderness Park was surveyed in the summer of 2007 and the results are briefly presented in this report.

Description

Over 4000 beetles were collected of which 2060 were pinned and curated. Many more were discarded in the field as duplicates of very common species. Of the 2464 species of beetles reported in Alberta (Bousquet 1991), representatives of 36 families and 318 species were found in Willmore (includes Aleocharinae staphylinids where genus was not determined). Many additional families of beetles are expected to occur in the park. Appendix 1 contains detailed locality and collection data for the beetles collected in Willmore.
