The low number of indicator species for the peat block samples could derive from the random propagules content in the field conditions and from the chance for species with different autecological features to germinate due to the favourable conditions in the greenhouse.

montana was first classed as a successional species based on its capacity to regenerate on steep slopes where landslides were common (Beard, 1949), autecological research in the Quebrada Sonadora watershed showed that Prestoea grew slowly, survived for long periods, adapted well to shade, and had a high moisture requirement, all suggesting that the species was adapted to closed forest (Bannister, 1970).

Thus, in the Orthoptera, detailed autecological studies have demonstrated close relationships between vegetation, land management and species distributions at the field-scale, yet such detailed data are available for only a small number of sites (e.g., Cherrill & Brown 1990, Jauregui et al.
