Foto © paolo audisio 4 LISTA ROSSA dei Coleotteri saproxiliCi italiani PrESENTazioNE Le caratteristiche geografiche, climatiche e storiche del nostro paese hanno consentito l’insediamento e la permanenza di una variegata e ricca biodiversità, inclusa una grande varietà di specie endemiche, ambienti esclusivi, paesaggi caratteristici. Su una superficie piuttosto limitata, se comparata alla totalità del continente europeo, sono infatti presenti poco meno del 40% delle specie animali terrestri europee e circa la metà di quelle vegetali. Come stimato recentemente, la biodiversità eucariotica terrestre in Italia (escludendo quindi gli organismi marini) si dovrebbe attestare intorno alle 75.000 specie. Tale ricchezza e peculiarità derivano soprattutto dalla posizione dell’Italia al centro del Bacino Mediterraneo, un “hot spot” di biodiversità riconosciuto a livello mondiale. In tal senso il nostro Paese ha la responsabilità di monitorare e salvaguardare questo “capitale naturale” così come definito nella Strategia Nazionale per la Biodiversità adottata nel 2010, che concretizza per l’Italia gli impegni assunti con la sottoscrizione della Convenzione internazionale per la Biodiversità e l’attuazione della Strategia europea per la Biodiversità 2020. Tra gli obiettivi individuati dalla Strategia Nazionale per il decennio 2011-2020, l’approfondimento delle conoscenze su consistenza, fattori di minaccia e stato di conservazione di habitat e specie su tutto il terri- torio nazionale, descrive la necessità di poter evidenziare a livello nazionale quali e quante specie animali e vegetali rischiano di scomparire e soprattutto quali sono le cause che possono determinarne i fattori di rischio. Lo strumento delle Liste Rosse dell’Unione Internazionale per la Conservazione della Natura (IUCN), la più antica e universalmente riconosciuta organizzazione internazionale che si occupa di conservazione della biodiversità, fornisce una metodologia e criteri che consentono di valutare, a diverse scale territoria- li, lo stato di rischio di estinzione a livello di specie. L’utilizzo di tale strumento, che quest’anno compie ben 50 anni, ormai adottato come riferimento e indi- catore a livello internazionale, fornisce dunque informazioni sintetiche e confrontabili sullo stato di con- servazione delle specie e sull’efficacia delle azioni intraprese e da intraprendere per contrastare i fattori di minaccia individuati ed arrestare la perdita di biodiversità. Nell’ambito dell’Accordo Quadro triennale, sottoscritto il 10 novembre 2011 dal Ministro pro-tempore e dal Presidente della Federparchi, per una più proficua collaborazione sugli obiettivi d’interesse comune in termini di attuazione delle misure per la conservazione della biodiversità e per l’implementazione di azio- ni per lo sviluppo sostenibile nei territori delle aree protette, la Direzione per la Protezione della Natura e del Mare in quanto Autorità Nazionale dell’IUCN in Italia, ha stipulato Convenzioni attuative attraverso le quali, tra l’altro, è stata condotta la valutazione di alcuni gruppi di animali per sviluppare Liste Rosse Na- zionali; queste vengono definite attraverso l’applicazione della metodologia IUCN, con il coinvolgimento di ricercatori nelle specifiche discipline e di esperti nell’applicazione dei relativi protocolli di valutazione (Comitato Italiano IUCN, ISPRA, Società scientifiche, LIPU e numerosi esperti nazionali). In questo volume vengono presentati i dati relativi ai coleotteri saproxilici, ovvero i coleotteri associati più o meno strettamente, almeno in una fase del loro ciclo vitale, al legno di piante morte o deperenti in ambienti forestali e di macchia, o a materiali lignei di origine esogena (ad esempio i tronchi spiaggiati lungo gli ambienti litoranei sabbiosi o nelle anse delle principali aste fluviali). Nell’ambito di un insieme molto eterogeneo che conta circa 12.500 specie di Coleotteri presenti in Italia, i saproxilici rappresentano, con circa 2000 specie censite, una componente emblematica della biodiversità terrestre, sia in termini di ricchezza e di valenza ecologica, sia di vulnerabilità alle minacce; il loro studio ha inoltre rappresentato lo sforzo di sintesi numericamente più impegnativo, in termini di liste rosse nazionali, mai tentato nel no- LISTA ROSSA dei Coleotteri saproxiliCi italiani 5 stro paese. In effetti i Coleotteri saproxilici costituiscono un anello essenziale sia dell’evoluzione dinamica degli ecosistemi forestali, sia di quel complesso sistema di trasformazione

These, however, may constitute important safe havens for saproxylic organisms since forest reserves are relatively numerous in Europe. Saproxylic beetles are among the key groups for the assessment of biodiversity in forest habitats and longhorn beetles may play an important role in bioindication as they are ecologically associated with various micro- habitats and considered a very heterogeneous family of insects. To study the role of forest reserves as important habitats for saproxylic beetles, we compared cerambycid assemblages in corresponding pairs of sites (nature reserves and managed stands) in a forest region under high anthropogenic pressure (Upper Silesia, Poland, Central Europe).

The study contains the results of the investigations conducted over a period of many years on the biodiversity of insect fauna of firs in strict and partial reserves of the Świętokrzyski and Roztoczański National Parks. The species structure of individual functional groups of insects was analysed, together with their role in the ecosystem and their influence on the course of natural ecological processes in the environment, depend- ing on the health of the host plant. The degree of similarity was determined for the species composition of insect fauna found in the analysed areas of the parks. A considerable bio- logical and scientific role which has been played for several decades by strict reserves has been stressed. The reserves are indispensable for the creation of appropriate conditions for the development and survival of insect species of great natural value, being rare in the fauna of fir stands at the north-eastern limits of the natural range of this tree species. Key words: insect fauna, fir, reserves, commercial forests INTRODUCTION The study contains the results of the investigations on the biodiversity of insect fauna in fir strict and partial reserves of the Świętokrzyski and Roztoczański National Parks. The investigations conducted in the above mentioned national parks were con- nected with the processes of regression or even dying back of fir observed throughout Central Europe within the natural range limits of this species.
