Old Park Trees As Habitat for Saproxylic Beetle Species
Biodivers Conserv (2012) 21:619–642 DOI 10.1007/s10531-011-0203-0 ORIGINAL PAPER Old park trees as habitat for saproxylic beetle species Mats Jonsell Received: 25 March 2011 / Accepted: 30 November 2011 / Published online: 14 December 2011 Ó The Author(s) 2011. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Very old trees harbour a diverse fauna of saproxylic insects, many of which are classified as threatened due to the scarcity of this kind of habitat. Parks, which often contain many old trees, are therefore considered to be important sites for this fauna. However parks are intensively managed and dead wood is often removed. Therefore this study compares if the saproxylic beetle fauna in parks is as diverse as it is in more natural stands. Eight ‘Park’ sites at manor houses around lake Ma¨laren, Sweden were compared with trees in wooded meadows: eight grazed sites, here termed ‘Open’, and 11 sites regrown with younger trees, termed ‘Re-grown’. The comparison was made on lime trees (Tilia spp.): one of the most frequent tree species in old parks which host a diverse beetle fauna. Beetles were sampled with window traps, which in total caught 14,460 saproxylic beetles belonging to 323 species, of which 50 were red-listed. When comparing all saproxylic species, ‘Park’ sites had significantly fewer species than ‘Open’ sites. However, for beetles in hollow trees and for red-listed species there was no significant difference, the number in ‘Park’ being intermediate between ‘Open’ and ‘Re-grown’. Species composition differed between sites, but only marginally so. -

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 -
Coleoptera from the Middle-Upper Eocene European Ambers: Generic Composition, Zoogeography and Climatic Implications

ALEKSEEV Department of Zootechny, Kaliningrad State Technical University, Sovetsky Avenue 1. 236000, Kaliningrad, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The paper contains a review of coleopteran genera known from Baltic, Bitterfeld and Rovno amber localities. Altogether 420 genera (191 extinct and 229 extant) from 78 families are listed from these three Lagerstätten (as of 7 March 2017). The listed beetles were analyzed zoogeographically and distributional maps for 72 genera were compiled. One-quarter (56) of the genera that have survived since the Eocene have cosmopolitan ranges at present; 35 extant genera have been extripated from the Palaearctic since the Eocene. Approximately 40% of beetle genera from the middle-upper Eocene Eu- ropean ambers can be encountered in the wild in present-day Europe, while 5 of these genera are supposed to be European relict endemics originating in Fennosarmatia. The general similarity of the Baltic amber (s.l.) beetle assemblage to modern south Palaearctic fauna is the strongest, the Nearctic elements are more numerous in the middle-upper Eocene European ambers than the Oriental taxa. The simplified Mutual Climatic Range (MCR) method was used for palaeoclimate recon- struction based on fossil beetles. The coleopteran assemblage of Baltic amber is interpreted as indicative of warm temper- ate, humid, equable climate with reduced thermal seasonality [annual average temperatures range from +10–20˚C; mean of the coldest month temperatures around +10˚C; mean of the hottest month temperature around +20–24˚C; annual pre- cipitation around 750–1500 mm]. -

En définitive, il nous a semblé que cette contribution, que vous pourrez consulter et télécharger librement sur notre site *, méritait aussi d’être imprimée ; d’abord en raison de son volume, mais aussi parce que nous avons le sentiment que rien ne remplace totalement la permanence de la chose imprimée. La question reste posée pour les prochaines mises à jour, qui seront à l’évidence beaucoup moins volumineuses. -

Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
© Autonome Provinz Bozen, Abteilung Forstwirtschaft, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at forest observer vol. 5 2010 31 - 152 Faunistik der Bockkäfer von Südtirol (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Klaus Hellrigl Abstract Faunistics of Longhorn-beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) from South Tyrol (N-Italy). A survey on the occurrence of Longhorn-beetles in the Province of South Tyrol-Bolzano is given. The first monograph of the Longhorn-beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) of the fauna of South Tyrol (N-Italy: Province Bozen-Bolzano) was published by the Author back in 1967. Over 40 years later, a current up- dated and revised edition is given, where also incisive changes and innovations on the valid actual scientific nomenclature of species that occurred since the first edition are considered. Scientific nomenclature follows the recent publications of BENSE (1995), JANIS (2001) and FAUNA EUROPAEA (2007/09) respectively. Detailed descriptions of the presence and biology of some Cerambycid species are given for the first time. Also a historical review of Cerambycid-studies in South-Tirol is given. Apart from the own recent collec- tions and observations made by the Author during the last 45 years, further considered were the findings and rearing results of five other collectors and colleagues, operating here for the last decades, like: M. Kahlen (Hall i.Tirol), W. Schwienbacher (Auer), M. Egger (Innsbruck), E. Niederfriniger (Schenna) und G. v. Mörl (Brixen). In the special faunistic section, the review of each species begins with brief indications about general geographical distribution in Europe and about ecological occurrence, and continues subsequently with a mention of the former indications given by V. M. -

Cette espèce occupe le nord de l’europe, la France dans le Parc national de la Vanoise (savoie) et les Hautes-alpes (Vars), ainsi que la suisse (Valais) et l’autriche (massif du Wechsel). L’étude du type de E. granulatus Weise, 1887 confrme sa valeur spécifque. L’espèce occupe l’europe centrale et se voit confrmée des alpes allemandes (munich), suisses (Valais et Grisons) et italiennes (mauls). Les Holotypes d’E. sulcicollis schilsky, 1898 et d’E. ganglbaueri schilsky, 1898 ont été examinés, aboutissant à de nouvelles synonymies : E. sulcicollis est invalidé au proft d’E. striatellus (C. Brisout de Barneville, 1863) ; E. ganglbaueri est synonyme d’E. angulicollis. Les types de E. pyrenaeus mařan, 1941 et E. taygetanus mařan, 1941 sont redécrits. ils doivent être rassemblés au sein d’une même espèce, E. taygetanus mařan, 1941, représentée dans les Pyrénées françaises par la sous-espèce E. taygetanus ssp. pyrenaeus mařan, 1941 stat. nov. L’étude du type de E. turcicus Zahradník, 1998 confrme sa valeur spécifque. décrite de turquie et probablement endémique, cette espèce est morphologiquement proche de E. angulicollis.
