These, however, may constitute important safe havens for saproxylic organisms since forest reserves are relatively numerous in Europe. Saproxylic beetles are among the key groups for the assessment of biodiversity in forest habitats and longhorn beetles may play an important role in bioindication as they are ecologically associated with various micro- habitats and considered a very heterogeneous family of insects. To study the role of forest reserves as important habitats for saproxylic beetles, we compared cerambycid assemblages in corresponding pairs of sites (nature reserves and managed stands) in a forest region under high anthropogenic pressure (Upper Silesia, Poland, Central Europe).

  • Ethanol and (–)-A-Pinene: Attractant Kairomones for Some Large Wood-Boring Beetles in Southeastern USA
    J Chem Ecol (2006) DOI 10.1007/s10886-006-9037-8 Ethanol and (–)-a-Pinene: Attractant Kairomones for Some Large Wood-Boring Beetles in Southeastern USA Daniel R. Miller Received: 12 September 2005 /Revised: 12 December 2005 /Accepted: 2 January 2006 # Springer Science + Business Media, Inc. 2006 Abstract Ethanol and a-pinene were tested as attractants for large wood-boring pine beetles in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina in 2002–2004. Multiple-funnel traps baited with (j)-a-pinene (released at about 2 g/d at 25–28-C) were attractive to the following Cerambycidae: Acanthocinus nodosus, A. obsoletus, Arhopalus rusticus nubilus, Asemum striatum, Monochamus titillator, Prionus pocularis, Xylotrechus integer, and X. sagittatus sagittatus. Buprestis lineata (Buprestidae), Alaus myops (Elateridae), and Hylobius pales and Pachylobius picivorus (Curculionidae) were also attracted to traps baited with (j)-a-pinene. In many locations, ethanol synergized attraction of the cerambycids Acanthocinus nodosus, A. obsoletus, Arhopalus r. nubilus, Monochamus titillator, and Xylotrechus s. sagittatus (but not Asemum striatum, Prionus pocularis,orXylotrechus integer)to traps baited with (j)-a-pinene. Similarly, attraction of Alaus myops, Hylobius pales, and Pachylobius picivorus (but not Buprestis lineata) to traps baited with (j)-a- pinene was synergized by ethanol. These results provide support for the use of traps baited with ethanol and (j)-a-pinene to detect and monitor common large wood- boring beetles from the southeastern region of the USA at ports-of-entry in other countries, as well as forested areas in the USA.

  • Diversity and Role of Insects in Fir Forest Ecosystems in the Świętokrzyski National Park and the Roztoczański National Park
    M PO RU LO IA N T O N R E U Acta Sci. Pol. I M C S ACTA Silv. Colendar. Rat. Ind. Lignar. 8(4) 2009, 37-50 DIVERSITY AND ROLE OF INSECTS IN FIR FOREST ECOSYSTEMS IN THE ŚWIĘTOKRZYSKI NATIONAL PARK AND THE ROZTOCZAŃSKI NATIONAL PARK Kazimierz Gądek University of Agriculture in Krakow Abstract. The study contains the results of the investigations conducted over a period of many years on the biodiversity of insect fauna of firs in strict and partial reserves of the Świętokrzyski and Roztoczański National Parks. The species structure of individual functional groups of insects was analysed, together with their role in the ecosystem and their influence on the course of natural ecological processes in the environment, depend- ing on the health of the host plant. The degree of similarity was determined for the species composition of insect fauna found in the analysed areas of the parks. A considerable bio- logical and scientific role which has been played for several decades by strict reserves has been stressed. The reserves are indispensable for the creation of appropriate conditions for the development and survival of insect species of great natural value, being rare in the fauna of fir stands at the north-eastern limits of the natural range of this tree species. Key words: insect fauna, fir, reserves, commercial forests INTRODUCTION The study contains the results of the investigations on the biodiversity of insect fauna in fir strict and partial reserves of the Świętokrzyski and Roztoczański National Parks. The investigations conducted in the above mentioned national parks were con- nected with the processes of regression or even dying back of fir observed throughout Central Europe within the natural range limits of this species.

    THE RED LIST STATUS OF EUROPE’S OVERLOOKED SPECIES LIFE14 PRE BE 001 – Layman’s report This project was co-funded by the European Union under the LIFE Financial Instrument and the Grant Agreement n. LIFE14 PRE BE 001 About IUCN Created in 1948, IUCN represents one of the world’s largest and most diverse environmental networks. It harnesses the experience, resources and reach of more than 1,300 member organisations and the input of over 15,000 volunteer experts, organised in six commissions. IUCN is the global authority on the status of the natural world and the measures needed to safeguard it. The IUCN Global Species Programme supports the activities of the IUCN Species Survival Commission and individual Specialist Groups, as well as implementing global species conservation initiatives. It is an integral part of the IUCN Secretariat and is managed from IUCN’s international headquarters in Gland, Switzerland. What is the IUCN Red List? The European Red List The IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM is the When conducting regional or national assessments, world’s most comprehensive information source on and to ensure that the criteria are applied the extinction risk of plant and animal species. It is a appropriately at such scales, the IUCN has compilation of the conservation status of species at developed the Guidelines for Application of IUCN Red the global level, based on the best scientific List Criteria at Regional Levels.1 information available. The IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria are based on a set of quantitative criteria linked to population trends, size and structure, threats, and geographic ranges of species.

Abstract: The Catalogue includes all 78 Cerambycidae species of Afghanistan fauna known up to 2019 with the references to the original descriptions; 22 species were not mentioned for Afghanistan in Palaearctic Cerambycidae Catalogue by Löbl & Smetana (2010). Bibliography of each species usually includes the geographical information from corresponding publications. Many new taxonomy positions published after 2010 are used here without special remarks. Agapanthia (Epoptes) dahli ustinovi Danilevsky, 2013 stat. nov. is downgraded from the species level. Two species are described as new Phytoecia (Parobereina) pashtunica sp. n. from Afghanistan and Phytoecia (Parobereina) heinzi sp.n. from Pakistan. The present work is an attempt to summarize all data published up to now on Cerambycidae of Afghanistan fauna.

Vol. 9, No. 1, January 2014__________ 245 TURKISH RED LIST CATEGORIES OF LONGICORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) PART I – SUBFAMILIES VESPERINAE AND PRIONINAE Hüseyin Özdikmen* * Gazi University, Faculty of Science, Department of Biology, 06500 Ankara, TURKEY. E- mail: [email protected] [Özdikmen, H. 2014. Turkish Red List Categories of Longicorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Part I – Subfamilies Vesperinae and Prioninae. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 9 (1): 245-253] ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to create a Turkish Red List of the longicorn beetles. Moreover, presence such a Red List is necessary for Turkey. Even governmental evaluations could cause some erroneous decisions due to absence such a Red List. Since, governmental evaluations at the present time are based on the works that are realized with respect to the European Red List. Furthernore, Turkey appears a continental property changeable in very short distances in terms of climatical features and field structures. So, the status of European fauna and the status of Turkish fauna are not the same. Clearly, there is no any work that subjected to create a Turkish Red List. Hence, a series work is planned with this purpose. This type of study is the first attempt for Turkey. KEY WORDS: Red List, Conservation, Cerambycidae, Turkey The conservation of beetles has received a great deal of attention in many parts of the world in recent years. Human activities like growing cities, wood harvesting and global warming that destroy natural ecosystem threaten unique species day by day. So currently, a great deal of researches is aimed at conserving these organisms.

Molekulární fylogeneze podčeledí Spondylidinae a Lepturinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) pomocí mitochondriální 16S rDNA [Molecular phylogeny of subfamilies Spondylidinae and Lepturinae based on mitochondrial 16S rDNA, Bc. Thesis, in Czech]. Faculty of Science, University of South Bohemia, České Budějovice, Czech Republic. 34 pp. Annotation This study uses cca. 510 bp of mitochondrial 16S rDNA gene for phylogeny of the beetle family Cerambycidae particularly the subfamilies Spondylidinae and Lepturinae using methods of Minimum Evolutin, Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Analysis. Two included representatives of Dorcasominae cluster with species of the subfamilies Prioninae and Cerambycinae, confirming lack of relations to Lepturinae where still classified by some authors. The subfamily Spondylidinae, lacking reliable morfological apomorphies, is supported as monophyletic, with Spondylis as an ingroup. Our data is inconclusive as to whether Necydalinae should be better clasified as a separate subfamily or as a tribe within Lepturinae. Of the lepturine tribes, Lepturini (including the genera Desmocerus, Grammoptera and Strophiona) and Oxymirini are reasonably supported, whereas Xylosteini does not come out monophyletic in MrBayes. Rhagiini is not retrieved as monophyletic. Position of some isolated genera such as Rhamnusium, Sachalinobia, Caraphia, Centrodera, Teledapus, or Enoploderes, as well as interrelations of higher taxa within Lepturinae, remain uncertain. Tato práce byla financována z projektu studentské grantové agentury SGA 2007/009 a záměru Entomologického ústavu Z 50070508. Prohlašuji, že jsem tuto bakalářskou práci vypracovala samostatně, pouze s použitím uvedené literatury.
