Rev. Syst. Ecol. Res. (ISSN 1841 – 7051). IN MEMORIAM Victor Preda (1912 - 1982) Victor Preda was a Romanian biologist and also a doctor. He was born in Bucharest on 20 November 1912. He achieved his secondary education, crucial to his later very active life, in the effervescent atmosphere of that time in the "Gheorghe Lazăr" High School of Sibiu, where he also took the baccalaureate in 1929. For higher education he decided to attend Faculty of Medicine of Cluj-Napoca University. At this university, he later obtained a doctorate in medicine in 1930. He carried out intensive specialization in cytochemistry and histology in Vienna and Paris during the period 1938-1939. Between 1951 and 1952 he acted as University Professor of general biology at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Cluj-Napoca University. He was awarded the title of Reader in medical science in 1956. Elected a member of the Romanian Academy in 1974, he became President of the Cluj-Napoca branch of the Romanian Academy in 1975. His professional recognition results from his membership of various professional associations: Polish Anatomists Association (1958), International Society of Cell Biology (1969), New York Academy of Sciences (1969), etc. His research focused mainly on the field of anthropology (physical and social anthropology) and experimental histology and embryology. The diligent studies resulted in the publication of over 280 scientific papers and publications. He published numerous treatises and monographs on theoretical and general biology, of which the most important are: "Biologia teoretică" (Theoretical Biology) published in 1944; "Probleme moderne de biologie" (Modern problems of biology) 1946; "Biologia" (Biology) 1963; "Biochimia dezvoltării embrionare la vertebrate" (The biochemistry of embryonic development in vertebrates) 1969; "Determinarea şi diferenţierea sexuală la vertebrate" (Determination and sexual differentiation in vertebrates) 1968; "Evoluţia indicelui cefalic în raport cu vârsta" (Evolution of cephalic index on age) 1943; "Beiträge zur Kenntnis des Wachstums und Regenerationsprozesses" (Contributions to the knowledge of growth and regeneration processes) 1944; "Rolul trofic al sistemului nervos embrionar" (Trophic role of the embryonic nervous system) 1956-1961; "Biochimia dezvoltării embrionare la peşti" (The biochemistry of embryonic development in fish) 1959; "Bazele nervoase ale procesului regenerativ şi biochimismului procesului regenerativ" (Fundamentals of the nerve regenerative process and regenerative biochemistry process) 1959; etc. He died on 10 April 1982 in Cluj-Napoca, leaving the results of his hard work, a man worthy of respect.

Box 53, Hungary, e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Species richness and composition of carabid assemblages were investigated on the ground surface of differently treated (abandoned, commercial and IPM) apple and pear orchards in Hungary. Extensive sampling was carried out by pitfall trapping in 13 apple and 3 pear orchards located in ten different regions. 28 230 indi- viduals belonging to 174 species were collected. Additional four species were collected by trunk-traps and 23 species were found during the review of earlier literature. Altogether 201 carabid species representing 40% of the carabid fauna of Hungary were found in our and earlier studies. The species richness varied between 23 and 76 in the different orchards, the average species richness was 43 species. The common species, occurring with high relative abundance in the individual orchards in decreasing order were: Pseudoophonus rufipes, Harpalus distinguendus, Harpalus tardus, Anisodactylus bino- tatus, Calathus fuscipes, Calathus erratus, Amara aenea, Harpalus affinis and Pterostichus melanarius. The species with wide distribution, occurring in more than 75% of the investigated orchards in decreas- ing order were: Pseudoophonus rufipes, Trechus quadristriatus, Harpalus tardus, Harpalus distinguendus, Pterostichus melanarius, Amara aenea, Amara familiaris Calathus fuscipes, Poecilus cupreus, Calathus ambi- guus, Calathus melanocephalus, Pseudoophonus griseus and Harpalus serripes.

Many species were erroneously quoted from Belarus (26 species), Poland (15 spe- cies) and Ukraine (10 species) and them should be deleted from the Catalogue. Oth- er species actually occurring in these countries were missing. The list of missed spe- cies includes 89 certainly old members of the Polish fauna, 84 – of Ukraine’s, and 71 – of the Belarus’. Absence in the Catalogue of 25% of species of well studied fauna of Belarus, 18% of fauna of Poland, and 11% of fauna of Ukraine reduces in- formation value of this work. Some taxonomical comments are also given. Key words: Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, Carabidae, additions and correc- tions, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine INTRODUCTION This publication seems overdue, after all the Catalogue has been published for a long time already – since 2003.

Der bereits 1980 sehr niedrige Bestand von 94 Brutpaaren sank bis 2014/15 auf nur noch 24 Brutpaare. Damit ist die Art in Bayern vom Aussterben bedroht, aber auch global sind starke Rückgänge zu ver­ zeichnen. Als wichtigste Gründe werden in der Auswertung der Wiesen­ brüterkartierung die fortschreitende Entwässerung der Wiesen und ei­ ne zunehmende Störung durch Freizeitnutzung gesehen. Im Rahmen der Wiesenbrüter­Agenda werden die verbliebenen Brutgebiete inten­ siv betreut.

In addition to these edges, there are edges evolved by natural processes. Edge-main- taining processes (natural vs. anthropogenic) fundamentally determine edge responses, and thus edge functions. Species with various traits show fundamentally different edge response, therefore the trait-based approach is essential in edge studies. We evaluated the edge effect on the body size of ground beetles in forest edges with various maintaining processes. Our results, based on 30 published papers and 221 species, showed that natural forest edges were impenetrable for small species, preventing their dispersal into the forest interiors, while both the medium and the large species penetrated across these edges and dispersed into the forest interiors. Anthropogenic edges maintained by continued human disturbance (agriculture, forestry, urbanisation) were permeable for ground beetles of all size, allowing them to invade the forest interiors. Overwintering type (overwintering as adults or as larvae) was associated with body size, since almost two-thirds of the small spe- cies, while slightly more than a third of both the medium and the large species were adult overwintering.

  • Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Warsaw and Ma- Zovia
    POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES • INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY MEMORABILIA ZOOLOGICA MEMORABILIA ZOOL. 34 119— 144 1981 WOJCIECH CZECHOWSKI CARABIDS (COLEOPTERA, CARABIDAE) OF WARSAW AND MA- ZOVIA ABSTRACT A total number of 276 carabid species occur within the administrative boundaries of Warsaw, including 258 species in suburban areas and 113 species in urban green areas (parks, housing estates, and the centre of the town). The species of urban green areas account for 35% of the potential carabid fauna of this area, 323 species being recorded from Mazovia. The species with large geographical ranges (Holarctic, Palaearctic, and Euro- -Siberian) are best adapted to urban conditions. To the species most resistant to urban pressure belong those occupying a wide spectrum of habitat types (eurytopic and polytopic), field und ubiquitous, and also xerophilous and omnivorous. The dominant species of urban green areas are Pterostichus vulgaris (L.), Nebria brevicollis (Fabr.) and Calathus fuscipes (Goeze). INTRODUCTION HISTORICAL VIEW Carabids as a group of insects have drawn the attention of workers since the earliest times. This is one of the best known families of the beetles taxonomically, as well as faunistically and ecologically. Even urban areas, usually little attractive to faunists, were not disregarded by collectors in the remote past. Due to this, now when the study on urban areas dynamically develop, we have relatively rich data on the urban and, in particular, Warsaw carabid fauna. A general picture of faunistic studies carried out so far in Warsaw and Mazovia is presented elsewhere [14].
