( Fig. 20 g View Fig , Fig. 39 View Fig , Map 35 View Map 35 , Table 37)
Porcellium conspersum occurs commonly in forests south of the rivers Sambre and Meuse ( Map 35 View Map 35 ), with only one record (1.7%) registered in open landscape ( Table 37). Most records in forests were near water (83.1%) with banks of small streams and rivers in deciduous forest as the main habitat for this species ( Table 37). P. conspersum is together with Ligidium hypnorum and Oniscus asellus one of the few species in Belgium that can be found in locations with a high soil acidity.
The corrected number of records is highest from May until August and in November–December ( Fig. 39 View Fig ). The species seems to be less commonly found at the beginning of the year (January– April). It is unclear if this is a real pattern or if this is due to random effects or the species’ reproduction cycle.
