We here quantify the effects of 3 levels of sheep grazing on selected invertebrates in n alpine ecosystem in Norway. We tested the hypothesis that invertebrates are more sensitive to grazing than plants (responding ainly at high density), and that primary consumers (herbivorous beetles) are more sensitive than predatory species (beetles and piders). We captured 1218 specimens belonging to 44 beetle species and 6672 specimens belonging to 66 species of spiders. The ommunity was dominated by few species: 5 beetle and 3 spider species made up 53.0% and 37.4% of the catch, respectively. t the local (plot) scale, most negative responses were only recorded at high sheep density, and invertebrates were thus not ore responsive than the plant community. Two dominant herbivorous beetles responded to grazing while 3 dominant species f predatory beetles did not (one marginally). Spider species richness and frequency of occurrence of 2 dominant species were egatively affected by sheep grazing, suggesting variation between diff
