The study presents quantitative ethnobotanical information on the use of medicinal plants in the study area. The results were analyzed using quantitative indices: Respondent Consensus Ratio (FIC), Loyalty Level Index (FL) and Significance Value Index (IVs). A total of 332 species of medicinal plants belonging to 250 genera of 90 families have been identified for the region of the Northern Black Sea Coast. The largest number of citations are registered for the use of medicinal plants for culinary purposes and for use in human medicine. The use of medicinal plants in other household applications has been studied.

  • Bourgas District-Pomorie from Tourism Perspective
    BULGARIA- SOUTH -EASTERN REGION- BOURGAS DISTRICT-POMORIE FROM TOURISM PERSPECTIVE GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, BORDERS, SEA PORTS On south the South-Eastern Region borders on the Republic of Turkey by three Cross Border Checking Points: Burgas, Tzarevo and Malko Tarnovo. On east the region is wide open to the Black sea through the 8 ports - Burgas, Ahtopol, Tzarevo, Sozopol, Pomorie, Nesebar, Rosenetz and Ribno Port, BUT two major ports on the Black Sea is Varna and Burgas. Both act as East-West transport corridor gateways of Bulgaria. Port facilities are generally adequate for bulk commodities, but lack facilities for special handling. Rehabilitation of both ports is planned. Bourgas is the second largest port in Bulgaria, and is in close proximity to Serbia, FYROM (Former Yugoslavia Republic of Macedonia), Greece and Turkey. The Bulgarian railways network and the Bulgarian national road system link Bourgas with major industrial inland points of the Balkans. Bourgas offers a large port facility, which can accommodate various ships and is close to a modern commercial airport. The Army has an agreement with the Bulgarian military to use it’s recreation facility located about 20 kilometers from the port, which they use to house task force personnel. Using this port provides the Commander-in-Chief, U.S. European Command, with another choice by providing another access point into the Balkans. Previously, KFOR used two ports for cargo movement supporting its troops in the U.S.-controlled sector of Kosovo—Thessaloniki, Greece and Bremerhaven, Germany. In port of Nessabar yearly are coming in big cruise ships, they make approximately 50 stops in this port per year.

Jana III Sobieskiego 2, 41-902 Bytom, Poland e-mail: [email protected] 2 National Museum of Natural History, Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd 1, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The collections of neuropterid orders from Bulgaria and Romania preserved in museums in Poland (Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom and Museum and Institute of Zoology in Warsaw) are identified. Faunistic information on 89 species is reported: 77 species from Bulgaria and 37 species from Romania (25 species from both countries). Coniopteryx (Xeroconiopteryx) atlasensis, Megalomus tineoides, Cunctochrysa cosmia and Neuroleon assimilis are new species for the fauna of Bulgaria. These first records shift the range borders of three species with 190 to 700 km northwards. Easternmost localities of Phaeostigma (Phaeostigma) pilicollis and Nothochrysa capitata and northernmost locality of Neuroleon assimilis are registered. The new localities outline the borders of the ranges of 20 species. Very rare species are Phaeostigma (Pontoraphidia) rhodopicum (Balkan endemic species), Libelloides lacteus (a single population in Romania), Coniopteryx (Metaconiopteryx) lentiae (in Romania), Coniopteryx (Holoconiopteryx) haematica and Sagittalata perla (both in Bulgaria), and Nedroledon anatolicus (in both countries). Key words: Raphidioptera, Megaloptera, Neuroptera, faunistics, Bulgaria, Romania. INTRODUCTION The fauna of all three neuropterid orders of Romania and Bulgaria is well explored and the species diversity is almost fully known.

  • The Ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Plana Mountain (Bulgaria)
    The аnts (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Plana Mountain... 87 Historia naturalis bulgarica, 20: 87-101, 2012 The ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Plana Mountain (Bulgaria) Boyan VAGALINSKI, Albena LAPEVA-GJONOVA VAGALINSKI B., LAPEVA-GJONOVA А. 2012. The ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Plana Mountain (Bulgaria). – Historia naturalis bulgarica, 20: 87-101. Abstract. The paper presents the first detailed research of the ants (Formicidae) of Plana Mountain (Western Bulgaria). A total number of 49 species were identified, 44 of which are new the studied area. Tetramorium hungaricum (Röszler, 1935) and Formica exsecta Nylander, 1846, reported from Plana by other authors, were not found during the current research. The paper also provides a brief zoogeographical analysis of the local ant fauna and a comparison with those of the adjacent Vitosha and Lozen Mountains. Some habitat information and additional remarks are given as well. Key words: ants, Formicidae, distribution, Plana Mountain, zoogeography. Introduction Although the Formicidae in Bulgaria are considered a relatively well known group (approximately 160 species reported) some parts of the country remain more or less neglected in faunistical research works. Plana – a small mid-high mountain (max. 1338 m) situated between Vitosha, Rila and Sredna Gora Mts – is an example of that; despite its accessibility and proximity to the city of Sofia, the area has not previously been a subject of any special research. Hence, the ant fauna of the mountain was rather poorly studied with only 7 species reported. Furthermore, most of them are only cursorily mentioned in the respective publications, so the exact locality, altitude, and habitat are often omitted. Early data about the ants of Plana are found in Gueorgi Wesselinov’s works on the domed nest building ants (WESSELINOFF, 1967, 1973), in which he reported 5 species of the genus Formica from the region.
