Teofilova* Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research (IBER), Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1 Tsar Osvoboditel Blvd., 1000 Sofia, BULGARIA * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract. The invertebrate fauna of the “Balabana” and “Dolna Topchiya” managed nature reserves is studied, with particular consideration to the ground beetles. The area of study is interesting from a biological point of view, as the Tundzha River constitutes a corridor of penetration of southern and thermophilic elements. On the other hand, the specifics of the territory predetermine the presence of many typically forest and some mountain species, as well as a lot of inhabitants of open biotopes, in particular – steppe forms. During the study, altogether 2041 specimens of carabid beetles belonging to 88 species are captured, as well as 76 other invertebrate species, some of which are with a conservation significance – new, endemic, rare, protected or endangered. Forty-six carabid species are reported for the first time for the Sakar-Tundzha region. Ground beetles are characterized and classified according to their zoogeographical belonging and the life forms they refer to.

Material and Methods Study area. “Balabana” and “Dolna Topchiya” managed nature reserves are situated in south-eastern Bulgaria, near the town of Elhovo, along the Lower valley of the river of Tundzha (Fig. 1). The reserves are under the jurisdiction of the Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water – Stara Zagora. The coordinates of the considered reserves’ centers are: 42˚08’48’’N, 26˚32’23’’E (average altitude 104 m a.s.l.) for “Balabana” and 42˚12’07’’N, 26˚33’58’’E (average altitude 107 m a.s.l.) for “Dolna Topchiya”. Geographical location, climate features and natural landscapes in the region are a prerequisite for the great faunistic diversity. The combination of relatively high annual average temperatures with high humidity predetermines the shaping of longose habitats with high conservation significance along the banks of the river. The valley of the Tundzha River in turn represents an original corridor for the penetration of some Mediterranean and Neareastern Fig. 1. Map of the location of the two invertebrate species.

Studii i comunicri. tiinele Naturii, Tom XXIII/2007 ISSN 1454-6914 THE SYNECOLOGICAL ANALYSES OF THE EDAPHIC BEETLES (COLEOPTERA) FROM THE MIXED FOREST (ELM, ASH AND FIELD MAPLE) FROM THE „CODRII TIGHECIULUI” LANDSCAPE RESERVE SVETLANA BACAL Abstract. This paper represents a faunistic and ecological study on the edaphic coleoptera from a mixed forest of the “Codrii Tigheciului” landscape reserve, accomplished during the vegetation period of 2004-2006. The coleopteran fauna from a forest of elm-tree (Ulmus caprinifolia) mixed with ash-tree (Fraxinus excelsior), sycamore (Acer campestre) and maple (Acer platanoides) was represented by 77 species from 37 genera and 7 families. The most well represented was the family Carabidae with 39 species from 16 genera, followed by family Staphylinidae with 15 species from 10 genera, then by the families Silphidae and Scarabaeidae with 9 species each from 4 and respectively 2 genera and the families Lucanidae and Tenebrionidae with 2 species from 2 genera each. The family Trogidae was represented by one species. Within the study the analysis of some analytical ecological indexes was realized, such as the abundance, the dominance, the stability and some synthetic indexes such as the index of ecological significance and the diversity index (the index of real diversity – H(S), the maximum diversity – H(S)max and the relative diversity (evenness).

Material was pitfall trapped in 2010 and 2011 on twelve sites of the agricultural landscape in the Prešov town and its near vicinity, Eastern Slovakia. A total of 14,763 ground beetle individuals were entrapped. Material collection resulted into 92 Carabidae species, with the following six species dominating: Poecilus cupreus, Pterostichus melanarius, Pseudoophonus rufipes, Brachinus crepitans, Anchomenus dorsalis and Poecilus versicolor. Studied habitats differed significantly in the number of entrapped individuals, activity abundance as well as representation of the carabids according to their habitat preferences and ability to fly. However, no significant distinction was observed in the diversity, evenness neither dominance.

  • About Bulgaria
    Source: Zone Bulgaria (http://en.zonebulgaria.com/) About Bulgaria General Information about Bulgaria Bulgaria is a country in Southeastern Europe and is situated on the Balkan Peninsula. To the north the country borders Rumania, to the east – the Black Sea, to the south – Turkey and Greece, and to the west – Yugoslavia and Macedonia. Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic with a National Assembly (One House Parliament) of 240 national representatives. The President is Head of State. Geography of Bulgaria The Republic of Bulgaria covers a territory of 110 993 square kilometres. The average altitude of the country is 470 metres above sea level. The Stara Planina Mountain occupies central position and serves as a natural dividing line from the west to the east. It is a 750 km long mountain range stretching from the Vrushka Chuka Pass to Cape Emine and is part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. It reaches the Black Sea to the east and turns to the north along the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border. A natural boundary with Romania is the Danube River, which is navigable all along for cargo and passenger vessels. The Black Sea is the natural eastern border of Bulgaria and its coastline is 378 km long. There are clearly cut bays, the biggest two being those of Varna and Bourgas. About 25% of the coastline are covered with sand and hosts our seaside resorts. The southern part of Bulgaria is mainly mountainous. The highest mountain is Rila with Mt. Moussala being the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula (2925 m). The second highest and the mountain of most alpine character in Bulgaria is Pirin with its highest Mt.

  • The Slugs of Bulgaria (Arionidae, Milacidae, Agriolimacidae
    POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK INSTYTUT ZOOLOGII ANNALES ZOOLOGICI Tom 37 Warszawa, 20 X 1983 Nr 3 A n d rzej W ik t o r The slugs of Bulgaria (A rionidae , M ilacidae, Limacidae, Agriolimacidae — G astropoda , Stylommatophora) [With 118 text-figures and 31 maps] Abstract. All previously known Bulgarian slugs from the Arionidae, Milacidae, Limacidae and Agriolimacidae families have been discussed in this paper. It is based on many years of individual field research, examination of all accessible private and museum collections as well as on critical analysis of the published data. The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

  • The Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of Three Horticultural Farms in Lombardy, Northern Italy ()
    Boll. Zool. agr. Bachic. 31 dicembre 2007 Ser. II, 39 (3): 193-209 D. LUPI, M. COLOMBO, S. FACCHINI The ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of three horticultural farms in Lombardy, Northern Italy () Abstract - Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were surveyed across three hor- ticultural farms, located in a peri-urban area, in the Po plain in Lombardy (Northern Italy) from April 2003 to March 2005. Their biodiversity was estimated using pitfall traps. A total of 29 genera and 39 species were collected. Notes on ants and spiders presence were also furnished. Land use seemed to have a significant effect on the number and composition of the species: catches were lower in the conventional farm and higher in biological farms. Apart from land use, all the species detected have already been recorded as frequent in agricultural fields and are characteristic of lowland agroecosystem in Northern Italy. Riassunto - I Coleotteri Carabidi di tre aziende orticole lombarde Si riferisce di un’indagine biennale (aprile 2003 - marzo 2005) effettuata sui Co- leotteri Carabidi di tre aziende orticole lombarde inserite in un contesto periurbano nella Pianura Padana. La biodiversità di tale famiglia è stata stimata utilizzando trappole a caduta. È stato catturato un totale di 39 specie afferenti a 29 generi. Vengono fornite indicazioni anche dei formicidi e ragni catturati nelle stesse trap- pole. La gestione aziendale sembra aver avuto un ruolo significativo sul numero e sulla composizione delle specie: le catture erano significativamente più basse nell’azienda convenzionale rispetto a quelle biologiche. Indipendentemente dalla gestione aziendale le specie catturate sono comunque comuni nei campi coltivati e caratteristiche degli agroecosistemi del nord Italia.

Munis Entomology & Zoology, 5 (2): 380-498] ABSTRACT: All taxa of the tribe Dorcadiini Latreille, 1825 in Turkey are evaluated and summarized with zoogeographical remarks. Also Dorcadion praetermissum mikhaili ssp. n. is described in the text. KEY WORDS: Dorcadion, Neodorcadion, Dorcadiini, Lamiinae, Cerambycidae, Coleoptera, Turkey. The main aim of this work is to clarify current status of the tribe Dorcadiini in Turkey. The work on Turkish Dorcadiini means to realize a study on about one third or one fourth of Turkish Cerambycidae fauna. As the same way, Turkish Dorcadiini is almost one second or one third of Dorcadiini in the whole world fauna. Turkish Dorcadiini is a very important group. This importance originated from their high endemism rate, and also their number of species. However, the information on all Turkish Dorcadiini is not enough. The first large work on Dorcadiini species was carried out by Ganglbauer (1884). He evaluated a total of 152 species of the genus Dorcadion and 13 species of the genus Neodorcadion. He gave 30 Dorcadion species and 4 Neodorcadion species for Turkey. Then, the number of Turkish Dorcadion species raised to 53 with 23 described species by Heyden (1894), Ganglbauer (1897), Jakovlev (1899), Daniel (1900, 1901), Pic (1895, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1905, 1931), Suvorov (1915), Plavilstshikov (1958).
