Red List of Beetles of The Wadden Sea Area* CONTRIBUTORS: Denmark: V. Mahler *~ Germany: R. Suikat & Th. ABmann INTRODUCTION The beetles (Coleoptera) comprise one of the most species-rich orders of insects. With the many highly specialized species, the group is well suited as a tool to detect changes in or deterioration of the environment. In the Wadden Sea area - as delimited in the ge- neral introduction - about 300 of the occurring beetle species are restricted in their dis- tribution to typical coastal habitats or are typically found there. Delimitation of the area We have followed rather strictly the generally agreed geographical delimitation of the area. The main habitats here are the regularly flooded tidal areas and salt-water marshlands outside the dikes. Other important habitats for beetles are beaches, dikes, dunes, heaths, heath moors, as well as brackish and freshwater pools. Especially in the northernmost area, along Varde ~, there are areas only flooded by spring tides and there- fore they are mainly freshwater marshlands. Data source Denmark: The basis is the published red list (Aasbirk & Sogaard, 1991). A revised red list is in preparation, but could not be considered. Germany: The basis is the red list for the German part of Wadden Sea area and Hel- goland (Suikat & Al~mann, 1995) and the red list of Schleswig-Holstein (Ziegler & Suikat, 1994). This list forms part of the Report on the RED LISTS OF BIOTOPES, FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE TRILATERAL WADDEN SEA AREA. For basic information concerning, for example, func- tion of these lists, species taken into account, structure of the lists and abbreviations used, see also the general introduction to the Red Lists. Although from the Netherlands no data on beetle species distribution are currently available, The Netherlands agree at this stage to the proposed overall status of threat. * Author of the introductory text. Biologische Anstalt Helgoland, Hamburg und Bundesamt Kir Naturschutz, Bonn 84 Beetles of the Wadden Sea Area Threats and Conservation Many of the threats to the beetles are common to most of the organisms in the Wad- den Sea area. The following factors are mainly responsible for the endangering of beet- les, and corresponding human activities should be reduced or reglemented: - intensive agricultural use: - water regulation such as land reclamation, dyking, coastal defence, drainage; - habitat losses due to constructions for tourism purposes: - trampling due to intensive recreational use; - removal of driftage or accumulations of organic matter along the shore. Most adverse effects can be summarised as 'habitat losses due to agriculture, water regulation and tourism'. An assessment of the influence of North Sea pollution and eu- trophication is not possible now but a special problem is the increasing oil-pollution of the shores (very little of it due to accidents), which should be stopped very soon. Summary As no data on beetles in the Wadden Sea area are available from The Netherlands, the trilateral status of threat only refers to the Danish and German part of the Wadden Sea. In this area, in total, 238 species of beetles are threatened in at least one subregion. Of these, 189 species are threatened in the entire area and are therefore placed on the trilateral Red List. 4 species are (probably) extinct in the entire Wadden Sea area. The status of 24 species of beetles is (probably) critical, 46 species are (probably) endange- red, the status of 86 species is (probably) vulnerable and of 29 species (probably) sus- ceptible.

M. & Tárrega, R. 2006: The influence of habitat type on the distribution of carabid beetles in traditionally managed “dehesa” ecosystems in NW Spain. — Entomol. Fennica 17: 284–295. We investigated the responses of carabid beetles to habitat type at the local scale in traditionally managed “dehesa” ecosystems in NW Spain. The beetles were sampled from two habitat types (central grassland and surrounding forested zone) of five “dehesa” ecosystems, from May to October 2004. A total of 4,374 carabid individuals and 55 species were captured using pitfall trapping. Most of the species were collected from both habitat types, probably due to open spaces created between old-growth trees in the forested zone. Differences in carabid as- semblage composition were found mainly due to Harpalus species characteristic from the central grassland and a few forest specialist species exclusively found in the forested zone. The maintenance of the “dehesa” structure may be of impor- tance for carabid species adapted to the variety of habitats created, and requires the continuation of traditional management practices. A.

Sushko Department of Ecology and Environmental Protection, Vitebsk State University P. M. Masherov, Moskovski Ave. 33, 21008 Vitebsk, Belarus. E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Belarus, Carabidae, diversity, environmental factors, Sphagnum dwellers. Abstract. A key structural component in peat bog formation is Sphagnum spp., which determines very specific associated envi- ronmental conditions. The aim of this study was to characterise some of the key factors affecting the diversity, species richness and abundance of sphagnum inhabiting ground beetles and to examine the maintenance of stable populations of cold adapted specialised peat bog species. A total of 52 carabid species were recorded by pitfall traps along six main habitats, such as the lagg zone, pine bog, hollows, hummock open bog and dome. The results are characterised by a low diversity, which vary significantly among habitat types, and include a high abundance of a few carabid species. Among the variables influencing carabid species richness and abundance were plant cover, pH and the conductivity of the Sphagnum mat water. Vascular plant cover was a key factor shaping carabid beetle assemblages in the slope and the dome, while electric conductivity affected carabid beetle assem- blage in the lagg. Whereas, the water level was the most important factor for the hollows. At the same time, peat bog specialists showed low sensitivity to the gradient of the analysed variables.

Verfasser: Wolfgang Prunner Matrikel-Nummer: 0009403 Studienrichtung /Studienzweig Zoologie (lt. Studienblatt): Betreuer: Ao. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Waitzbauer Wien, im Juni 2009 Summary The study took place in the Nationalpark “Thayatal-Podyjí” (northern Lower Austria) on seven sites from April to October 2005 and additionally on two different sites from April to October 2006. The carabid assemblages of this different sampling sites, which vary in their geology and forest type, were examined by using pitfall traps. Carabids were suitable bioindicators for this study because they are easy to trap and their ecological preferences are well known. The carabid assemblages were characterised by composition of wing morphology types, body sizes and ecological valences and by three ecological parameters which were Shannon Index, Eveness, and Forest Affinity Index (FAI). In total 17 different species were identified and the species number varied from 1 to 10 among the sites. Aptinus bombarda was the most abundant species but could only be found at two sites followed by Abax parallelepipedus, Abax ovalis and Molops piceus. Abax paralellepipedus was the most wide spread species and appeared at six sites. In total more than 80 % of all registrated species were brachypterous, 30 % were stenoecious and 70 % were body size category IV and V which means that large species were in the majority. The Shannon Index was highest with 2.01 at the very well structured oaktree mixed forest MXG3, and the FAI Index showed its highest value at the oaktree hornbeam forest ES and at the beechwood forest MXG2 with 0.98 each.

    Microhabitat Mosaics Are Key to the Survival of an Endangered Ground Beetle (Carabus Nitens) in Its Post-Industrial Refugia

    Journal of Insect Conservation (2018) 22:321–328 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-018-0064-x ORIGINAL PAPER Microhabitat mosaics are key to the survival of an endangered ground beetle (Carabus nitens) in its post-industrial refugia Martin Volf1,2 · Michal Holec3 · Diana Holcová3 · Pavel Jaroš4 · Radek Hejda5 · Lukáš Drag1 · Jaroslav Blízek6 · Pavel Šebek1 · Lukáš Čížek1,7 Received: 12 September 2017 / Accepted: 27 April 2018 / Published online: 3 May 2018 © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract Biota dependant on early seral stages or frequently disturbed habitats belong to the most rapidly declining components of European biodiversity. This is also the case for Carabus nitens, which is threatened across Western and Central Europe. We studied one of the last remaining populations of this ground beetle in the Czech Republic, which inhabits post-extraction peat bogs. In line with findings from previous studies, we show that C. nitens prefers patches characterized by higher light intensity and lower vegetation cover. Abundance of females was positively correlated with the cover of plant species requir- ing higher temperature. In addition, we demonstrate its preference for periodically moist, but not wet or inundated plots, suggesting that the transition between dry heathland and wet peat bog might be the optimal habitat for this species. This hypothesis is further supported by results showing a positive correlation between the abundance of C. nitens and vegetation cover comprising of a mix of species typical for heathland, peat bog, and boreal habitats. Our results show that C. nitens mobility is comparable to other large wingless carabids.
