Rafał Ruta Zabytkowy Park W Kujanie Koło Złotowa Jako Ostoja
Przegląd Przyrodniczy XXV, 2 (2014): 91-100 Rafał Ruta ZABYTKOWY PARK W KUJANIE KOłO ZłOTOWA JAKO OSTOJA SAPROKSYLICZNYCH CHrząSZCZY (INSECTA: COLEOPTERA) An old park in Kujan near Złotów as a refuge of saproxylic beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) ABSTRAKT: Podsumowano kilkuletnie obserwacje nad chrząszczami parku w Kujanie. W niewielkim obiekcie o pow. ok. 2 ha odnotowano występowanie rzadkich owadów saproksylicznych, jak Anitys ru- bens, Elater ferrugineus, Osmoderma barnabita i Gnorimus nobilis. Przedyskutowano znaczenie obiektu dla zachowania fauny saproksylicznej. SŁOWA KLUCZOWE: Pomorze, Bory Kujańskie, martwe drewno, ochrona przyrody, owady, Coleo- ptera, Diptera ABSTRACT: Survey of Coleoptera of a park in Kujan is recapitulated. In the small park (area of ca. 2 ha) several endangered species were found, including Anitys rubens, Elater ferrugineus, Osmoderma barna- bita and Gnorimus nobilis. Significance of the area for preservation of saproxylic fauna is discussed.

The park’s saproxylic beetle fauna, associated with dead wood and veteran trees, can be considered as nationally important. True flies associated with decaying wood add further significant species to the site’s saproxylic fauna. There is also a strong -

New Records and Rare Invertebrate Specimens Recorded During a Decade of Forest Biodiversity Research in Ireland
New records and rare invertebrate specimens recorded during a decade of forest biodiversity research in Ireland I Background ARTICLE Ireland has been subject to extensive deforestation in the past two millennia, and only 1% of the country Rebecca Martin1 1 PLANFORBIO, Department of Zoology, now consists of native or semi-natural woodlands (Forest Service, 2000a; Anne Oxbrough2 Ecology and Plant Science, University College Cork, Ireland; Forest Service, 2000c). During the last Tom Gittings1 Corresponding author: [email protected] century, approximately 10% of the Thomas C. Kelly1 land area was afforested, primarily and John O'Halloran1 2 Department of Renewable Resources, through an increase in commercial University of Alberta, plantations comprised of non-native 751 General Services Building, conifers, particularly Sitka spruce Edmonton, Alberta, (Joyce & O'Carroll, 2002). In Canada T6G 2H 1; addition, the Irish government aims to [email protected] increase total forest cover to 14.5% by 2030, with this target mainly being met through plantation establishment. Traditionally, Irish forestry has been under the domain of the semi-state body Coillte, which planted extensively in upland areas. In more recent years there has been a policy shift with the government supporting private afforestation schemes on land more typically used for agriculture (Forest Service, 2007), whilst Coillte concentrates on harvesting and restocking its forests. Since 1998, Ireland has been committed to Rebecca Martin Anne Oxbrough ensuring that all forestry development complies with the principles of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM), and as a result both new and restocked forests have been affected by changing policy aiming to create more diverse plantations (UNECE/FAO, 2003). -
Effect of Trap Color on Captures of Bark- and Wood-Boring Beetles

Received: 9 October 2020; Accepted: 28 October 2020; Published: 30 October 2020 Simple Summary: Several wood-associated insects are inadvertently introduced every year within wood-packaging materials used in international trade. These insects can cause impressive economic and ecological damage in the invaded environment. Thus, several countries use traps baited with pheromones and plant volatiles at ports of entry and surrounding natural areas to intercept incoming exotic species soon after their arrival and thereby reduce the likelihood of their establishment. In this study, we investigated the performance of eight trap colors in attracting jewel beetles and bark and ambrosia beetles to test if the trap colors currently used in survey programs worldwide are the most efficient for trapping these potential forest pests. In addition, we tested whether trap colors can be exploited to minimize inadvertent removal of their natural enemies. -

(11) Issue 4: 35-42, 2012, Podgorica 35 UDC (UDK) 582.28:595.768.2(497.16 Komovi) Dragan ROGANOVIĆ 1 BARK BEETLES (SCOLYTIDAE, COLEOPTERA) OF BEECH (FAGUS MOESIACA DOMIN, MALY/CZECZOTT.) IN MT. KOMOVI AREA - MONTENEGRO SUMMARY Researches on fauna of bark beetles (Scolytidae, Coleoptera) of beech (Fagus moesiaca Domin, Maly/Czeczott.) in the area of Komovi have been carried out during 2010 and 2011 at ten localities. These are the first researches of bark beetles on beech in the area of Komovi and 11 species of bark beetles are registered. From the total number of registered species of bark beetles, species Dryocoetes villosus, Xyloterus signatus, Taphrorychus hirtellus, Xyleborus saxeseni are new for fauna of Montenegro. All registered species have primary, secondary and tertiary importance. Species Scolytus intricatus, with its additional nutrition has a primary importance, while species of genera Xyloterus and Xyleborus that live in symbiosis with Ambrosia fungi reduce aesthetic and technical quality of tree. Keywords: Bark beetles, Beech, Mt. Komovi, Montenegro INTRODUCTION Komovi are located in the east part of Montenegro in direction to west- east, in the area of 68 km2. There are situated between mountain rivers Drcka and Kraštica on the north, Tara and Veruša on the west, Kutska river and Zlorječica on the east and mountain ranges of Prokletije on the south. Contrary to remarkable tops, in the area of Komovi, there are lot of rivers and corrugated valleys that dissected relif and made it diverse and, in landscape-aesthetic view, very interesting. Geomorphological characteristics are expressed in formes originated by erosive processes, especially glacial ones that comprising Komovi and other mountains of northern Montenegro. -

Large grazing herbivores drive the ecology of the site and can have a profound impact on invertebrates, both positive and negative. This survey was commissioned in order to assess the site’s invertebrate assemblage in a standardised and repeatable way both internally between fields and sections and temporally between years. Eight fields were selected across the estate with two in the north, two in the central block -
