Nat. Hist. Mus. Plovdiv) is the official scientific bulletin of the Natural History Museum – Plovdiv, published by Plovdiv University Press. The journal accepts submissions of original studies in the field of paleontology, natural history, geology and speleology, zoology, botany, ecology, biogeography, museology, history of natural studies, information about museum collections, etc. The official language of the journal is English. Exceptions are possible, certain manuscript may be published in Bulgarian language, with extensive abstract in English. Periodicity: Annually – one issue per year (December).

About the Journal In 1970, the Natural History Museum - Plovdiv issues Volume 1 of the journal "Bulletin of the Natural Science Museum Plovdiv”. In 1973 Volume 2 was released. Before the release of the independent journal of the Natural History Museum - Plovdiv, researchers at the museum published their articles in "Annuals of the Museums in the Plovdiv Region" and from 1975 in "Bulletin of the museums in Southern Bulgaria", which was published until 1995 (a total of 21 volumes). With the creation of the Bulletin of the Natural History Museum - Plovdiv, the Regional Museum of Natural History - Plovdiv resumed issuing its scientific journal. In the magazine accepted for posting short messages (up to 4 pages), original research papers (from 4 to 10 pages) and review articles (over 10 pages) in the above mentioned fields and shaped according to the instructions for authors. The logo of the journal is the paleoendemic beetle Rhodopaea angelovi Gruev & Tomov, 19681, known only from a small area in the Rhodope Mountains, south of Plovdiv. The species is named after Professor Emeritus Pavel Angelov, one the first directors of the museum, who collected the type specimens. From the Editorial Board 1 Gruev B., V. Tomov. 1968.

  • Elytra Reduction May Affect the Evolution of Beetle Hind Wings
    Zoomorphology https://doi.org/10.1007/s00435-017-0388-1 ORIGINAL PAPER Elytra reduction may affect the evolution of beetle hind wings Jakub Goczał1 · Robert Rossa1 · Adam Tofilski2 Received: 21 July 2017 / Revised: 31 October 2017 / Accepted: 14 November 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Beetles are one of the largest and most diverse groups of animals in the world. Conversion of forewings into hardened shields is perceived as a key adaptation that has greatly supported the evolutionary success of this taxa. Beetle elytra play an essential role: they minimize the influence of unfavorable external factors and protect insects against predators. Therefore, it is particularly interesting why some beetles have reduced their shields. This rare phenomenon is called brachelytry and its evolution and implications remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we focused on rare group of brachelytrous beetles with exposed hind wings. We have investigated whether the elytra loss in different beetle taxa is accompanied with the hind wing shape modification, and whether these changes are similar among unrelated beetle taxa. We found that hind wings shape differ markedly between related brachelytrous and macroelytrous beetles. Moreover, we revealed that modifications of hind wings have followed similar patterns and resulted in homoplasy in this trait among some unrelated groups of wing-exposed brachelytrous beetles. Our results suggest that elytra reduction may affect the evolution of beetle hind wings. Keywords Beetle · Elytra · Evolution · Wings · Homoplasy · Brachelytry Introduction same mechanism determines wing modification in all other insects, including beetles. However, recent studies have The Coleoptera order encompasses almost the quarter of all provided evidence that formation of elytra in beetles is less currently known animal species (Grimaldi and Engel 2005; affected by Hox gene than previously expected (Tomoyasu Hunt et al.

In total, 41 species belonging to 28 genera, 21 tribes and 3 families were collected and identified, including 25 species newly recorded for the Iraqi fauna. General distribution, collecting localities and methods, with plant association data for each species are given. Keywords: Coleoptera, Curculionoidea, Entomofauna, Iraq, Kurdistan. INTRODUCTION The superfamily Curculionoidea, commonly named snout beetles or weevils, is one of the highest diversity group of insects and probably the largest family of the order Coleoptera, that including over 62,000 species and around 6,000 genera thus far described (Oberprieler et al., 2007). They are small to large-sized beetles (approximately 1-60 mm) of different shapes, colors and habitats;Weevils can be recognized by their more or less long and slender rostrum with mouthparts situated at its apex, and mostly geniculate antennae with more or less compact antennal club (Thompson, 1992; Kuschel, 1995; Alonso- Zarazaga and Lyal, 1999; Anderson, 2002; Marvaldi et al., 2002; Oberprieler et al., 2007).

Our hosts at the Hotel Yagodina are Mariya and Asen Kukundjievi – www.yagodina-bg.com Cover: Large Skipper on Dianthus cruentus (SM); Scarce Copper on Anthemis tinctoria (RF); mating Bee-chafers (VA); Yagodina from St. Ilya and the cliffs above Trigrad (CG); Geum coccineum (HC); Red-backed Shrike (PC); Slender Scotch Burnet on Carduus thoermeri (JP). Below: In the valley above Trigrad (PC). As with all Honeyguide holidays, part of the price of the holiday was put towards local conservation work. The conservation contributions from this holiday raised £700, namely £40 per person topped up by Gift Aid through the Honeyguide Wildlife Charitable Trust. Honeyguide is committed to supporting the protection of Lilium rhodopaeum. The Rhodope lily is a scarce endemic flower of the Western Rhodopes, found on just a handful of sites in Bulgaria and just over the border in Greece, about half of which have no protection. Money raised in 2014 was enough to fund Honeyguide leader Vlado Trifonov, who is recognised as the leading authority on the Rhodope lily, for monitoring and mowing for two years at the location visited by Honeyguiders. That includes this year (2015). That work is likely to continue for some years, but other conservation needs in the future are uncertain.

From 1996 to 2006 more than 4900 individuals out of 81 species were collected. The use of leafhoppers as a management tool for monitoring status and change in forest ecosystems is critically evaluated. The fauna of both sites is dominated by a characteristic set of partially strongly specialized species. Species turnover as well as evaluation of precipitation and temperature of the monitoring sites show a strong reaction of the leafhopper communities on effects probably caused by climate change.

E- mail: [email protected] [Özdikmen, H. 2014. Turkish Red List Categories of Longicorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Part I – Subfamilies Vesperinae and Prioninae. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 9 (1): 245-253] ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to create a Turkish Red List of the longicorn beetles. Moreover, presence such a Red List is necessary for Turkey. Even governmental evaluations could cause some erroneous decisions due to absence such a Red List. Since, governmental evaluations at the present time are based on the works that are realized with respect to the European Red List. Furthernore, Turkey appears a continental property changeable in very short distances in terms of climatical features and field structures. So, the status of European fauna and the status of Turkish fauna are not the same. Clearly, there is no any work that subjected to create a Turkish Red List. Hence, a series work is planned with this purpose. This type of study is the first attempt for Turkey. KEY WORDS: Red List, Conservation, Cerambycidae, Turkey The conservation of beetles has received a great deal of attention in many parts of the world in recent years. Human activities like growing cities, wood harvesting and global warming that destroy natural ecosystem threaten unique species day by day. So currently, a great deal of researches is aimed at conserving these organisms.
