Abstract
A detailed ecological analysis related to altitude is carried out by means of the study of the distribution of 145 species and subspecies of aquatic coleoptera (Coleoptera, Adephaga and Polyphaga), detected in 299 sampling stations disposed throughout the Cantabrian Mountains. After defining the species richness at different altitudinal levels, we point out the indicator species by establishing their ecological features profile in terms of the reciprocal species-factor information.
