Abhandlungen aus dem Westfälischen Museum für Naturkunde, 71 (3): 309-334 Münster, 2009 Die Käfer (Insecta, Coleoptera exkl. Carabidae) des Truppenübungsplatzes Haltern-Borkenberge (Kreise Coesfeld und Recklinghausen) - Eine vorläufige Übersicht - Heinrich Terlutter, Münster, Armin Rose, Wilhelmshaven, Klaas Reißmann, Kamp-Lintfort und Karsten Hannig, Waltrop Zusammenfassung Die Käferfauna (exkl. Laufkäfer) des Truppenübungsplatzes Haltern-Borkenberge (Krei- se Coesfeld und Recklinghausen) wurde von Juni 2001 bis Dezember 2007 mittels Bo- denfallen und durch ergänzende Handaufsammlungen erfasst. Durch diese Erfassung so- wie unter Berücksichtigung unpublizierter älterer Untersuchungen konnten insgesamt 510 Käferarten aus 57 Familien ermittelt werden. Der Anteil der Staphylinidae an der Gesamtartenzahl beträgt 42 %, gefolgt von den Dytiscidae mit 7 %. Trichohydnobius suturalis und Leiodes ciliaris werden erstmals für Nordrhein-Westfalen gemeldet, die Nachweise von Necrophorus vestigator und Leiodes rubiginosa stellen Wiederfunde für Westfalen nach über 40 Jahren dar. Die bisher festgestellten Arten dürften bedingt durch das eingeschränkte Methodenspektrum schätzungsweise 50-60 % der tatsächlichen Artenzahl darstellen. Abstract: Between June 2001 and December 2007 the beetle fauna (Insecta, Coleoptera) of the 1.800 ha sized, Haltern-Borkenberge Training Area (western North Rhine-West- phalia) has been researched through intensive day and night sampling methods. Further- more historical data were considered. In total, 510 beetle species -

The Nitidulidae and Kateretidae of Sardinia: Recent Data and Updated Checklist (Coleoptera) *
ConseRVaZione haBitat inVeRteBRati 5: 447–460 (2011) CnBfVR The Nitidulidae and Kateretidae of Sardinia: recent data and updated checklist ( Coleoptera)* Paolo AUDISIO Dipartimento di Biologia e Biotecnologie "Charles Darwin", Sapienza Università di Roma, Via A. Borelli 50, I-00161 Rome, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] *In: Nardi G., Whitmore D., Bardiani M., Birtele D., Mason F., Spada L. & Cerretti P. (eds), Biodiversity of Marganai and Montimannu (Sardinia). Research in the framework of the ICP Forests network. Conservazione Habitat Invertebrati, 5: 447–460. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the Coleoptera Nitidulidae and Kateretidae collected in Sardinia during the surveys organized by Centro Nazionale per lo Studio e la Conservazione della Biodiversità Forestale "Bosco Fontana" of Verona in 2003–2008, with a few selected additional data collected on the island by the author during entomological trips carried out in 1982–2008, and by several Italian and European entomologists in the last few decades. The paper is also completed with the updated checklist of the species so far recorded from the island, including those based on a few unpublished data or extracted from recently examined material. 79 species (73 Nitidulidae, including 10 the presence of which is based only on very doubtful ancient records, and 6 Kateretidae) are listed for Sardinia. The updated list includes two species endemic to the Corso-Sardinian System: Sagittogethes nuragicus (Audisio & Jelínek, 1990), and Thymogethes foddaii (Audisio, De Biase & Trizzino, 2009) n. comb. Sagittogethes minutus (C. Brisout de Barneville, 1872) is recorded for the fi rst time from continental Italy (SE Calabria). Key words: Nitidulidae, Kateretidae, Sardinia, faunistics. -

Effect of Distance to Urban Areas on Saproxylic Beetles in Urban Forests
Effect of distance to urban areas on saproxylic beetles in urban forests Effekt av avstånd till bebyggda områden på vedlevande skalbaggar i urbana skogsområden Jeffery D Marker Faculty of Health, Science and Technology Biology: Ecology and Conservation Biology Master’s thesis, 30 hp Supervisor: Denis Lafage Examiner: Larry Greenberg 2019-01-29 Series number: 19:07 2 Abstract Urban forests play key roles in animal and plant biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services. Habitat fragmentation and expanding urbanization threaten biodiversity in and around urban areas. Saproxylic beetles can act as bioindicators of forest health and their diversity may help to explain and define urban-forest edge effects. I explored the relationship between saproxylic beetle diversity and distance to an urban area along nine transects in the Västra Götaland region of Sweden. Specifically, the relationships between abundance and species richness and distance from the urban- forest boundary, forest age, forest volume, and tree species ratio was investigated Unbaited flight interception traps were set at intervals of 0, 250, and 500 meters from an urban-forest boundary to measure beetle abundance and richness. A total of 4182 saproxylic beetles representing 179 species were captured over two months. Distance from the urban forest boundary showed little overall effect on abundance suggesting urban proximity does not affect saproxylic beetle abundance. There was an effect on species richness, with saproxylic species richness greater closer to the urban-forest boundary. Forest volume had a very small positive effect on both abundance and species richness likely due to a limited change in volume along each transect. An increase in the occurrence of deciduous tree species proved to be an important factor driving saproxylic beetle abundance moving closer to the urban-forest. -

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract The current knowledge of the geographic distribution of short-winged flower beetles and sap beetles (Kateretidae and Nit- idulidae, respectively) from Iran is summarized. In total, 84 species of Nitidulidae (in 22 genera and 5 subfamilies: Epu- raeinae, Carpophilinae, Cryptarchinae, Nitidulinae, Meligethinae) and 6 species of Kateretidae (in 4 genera: Brachyleptus Motschulsky, Brachypterolus Grouvelle, Brachypterus Kugelann, Kateretes Herbst) are listed. Brachyleptus discolor Reitter, Brachypterus glaber (Newman) (both Kateretidae), Epuraea distincta (Grimmer), Soronia oblonga (Brisout), La- miogethes bidens (Brisout), Lamiogethes medvedevi (Kirejtshuk), Sagittogethes devillei (Grouvelle) and Xerogethes ro- tundicollis (Brisout) (Nitidulidae) are new records for Iran. Key words: Coleoptera, sap beetles, short-winged flower beetles, checklist, Iran Introduction Nitidulidae Latreille, 1802, also known as sap beetles, are one of the largest and most diverse families belonging to the superfamily Cucujoidea and suborder Polyphaga. The family contains about 230 genera and more than 3000 species, widely distributed in all zoogeographical regions. Sap beetles are small beetles whose trophic and habitat requirements are extremely varied, utilizing a multitude of dietary niches. -
Crepidophorus Mutilatus (Elateridae) New for the Belgian Fauna and Rediscovery of Gnorimus Variabilis (Cetoniidae) (Insecta: Coleoptera)
Bulletin de la Société royale belge d’Entomologie/Bulletin van de Koninklijke Belgische Vereniging voor Entomologie, 151 (2015): 40-51 Tree cavity beetles in Haspengouw and Pays De Herve: Crepidophorus mutilatus (Elateridae) new for the Belgian fauna and rediscovery of Gnorimus variabilis (Cetoniidae) (Insecta: Coleoptera) Arno THOMAES 1, Luc CREVECOEUR 2 & Michael WIJNANTS 3 1 Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO), Kliniekstraat 25, B-1070 Brussel (e-mail: [email protected]) 2 Provinciaal Natuurcentrum, Craenevenne 86, B-3600 Genk 3 Katholieke Hoge School Kempen, Kleinhoefstraat 4, B-2440 Geel Summary We present the results of an exploratory research on the beetle diversity of cavity trees using pitfall traps, hand searching and pheromones. The 48 pitfalls resulted in 161 beetle species including 77 saproxylic beetles from which 23 species are listed on the German red list. Crepidophorus mutilatus was found as a new species for the Belgian fauna and Gnorimus variabilis was rediscovered for the first time in Belgium since 1932. Despite the use of the pheromones, Osmoderma eremita was not rediscovered. Possibly the species is still present as the number of suitable trees is not lower than in many European sites where the species is still present. Elater ferrugineus was found on 13 of 16 locations with pheromone traps and seems to be a good indicator of sites with important relics of a bocage landscape. Especially the high number of red listed species indicates that the studied relic bocage landscape has a high conservation value. Keywords : Saproxylic beetles, hollow trees, Elater ferrugineus. Introduction The Northwest European lowlands have been densely populated for many centuries resulting in a low historic and present forest cover (RACKHAM , 1980; TACK et al., 1993; DE KEERSMAEKER et al., 2001).
