Three consecutive meetings looked at different aspects of this vast topic. The Bern Group of Experts on Conservation of Invertebrates, the European Invertebrate Survey and the IUCN European Invertebrate Specialists Group each held business meetings. Most delegates also attended a one day colloquium on the topic of Red Data Listing at different spatial scales, which provided interesting examples of different approaches that have been proposed for a variety of taxa. I should like to thank Dr Mary Seddon, Deborah Spiller and all at the National Museum of Wales for setting up the conference venue and for keeping the meetings well organised. My thanks also to Dr Adrian Fowles, David Painter and David Carrington for putting together a stimulating day in the field. I would also like to thank Jean Lambert and colleagues at JNCC for their sanguine approach to conference administration.

[email protected] Abstract The four Nordic countries; Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, published a new generation of Red Lists between 1997 and 2001. These lists included more native invertebrate species (including insects) than ever before. The national Red Lists and some local lists provide an opportunity to analyse the effects of models using different biogeographic scales on the species composition of Red Listed invertebrates. If the species of Coleoptera on the national Red Lists are compiled on a Nordic level, 2330 of the total of 5000 species that occur in these countries are listed in one or more countries. However, if species that occur in at least one other country, without being Red Listed, are excluded, the Nordic list will include a similar percentage of Red Listed
