  • Key Factors Affecting the Diversity of Sphagnum Cover Inhabitants with the Focus on Ground Beetle Assemblages in Central-Eastern European Peat Bogs
    COMMUNITY ECOLOGY 20(1): 45-52, 2019 1585-8553 © AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ, BUDAPEST DOI: 10.1556/168.2019.20.1.5 Key factors affecting the diversity of Sphagnum cover inhabitants with the focus on ground beetle assemblages in Central-Eastern European peat bogs G. 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.

Of the associated entomofauna phytophagous beetles (Coleoptera) of various taxonomic groups adapted their life history to this ancient host tree. This occurred either already before the late Gondwanian interruption of the previously joint Araucaria distribution or only later in the already geographically separated populations. A bibliographic survey of the eastern and western coleopterans recorded on Araucaria trees resulted in well over 200 species belonging to 17 families. These studies include records of beetles living on 12 of the 19 extant Araucaria species. Their occurrence and adaptations to the host trees are discussed under aspects of evolution and co- speciation.

  • 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.

Hawkeswood* *PO Box 842, Richmond, New South Wales, Australia, 2753 (www.calodema.com) Hawkeswood, T.J. (2007). Beetles (Coleoptera) of the Shell Picture Card series: Buprestidae. Calodema Supplementary Paper No. 30 : 1-7. Abstract: Cards depicting Buprestidae species (Coleoptera) from Australia in the Shell Picture Card series entitled Australian Beetles (1965) are reviewed in this paper. The original cards are supplied as illustrations with the original accompanying data. Comments on these data are provided wherever applicable. Introduction During the early to mid 1960’s the Shell Petroleum Company issued a number of Picture Card series dealing with the fauna and flora of Australia. The cards were handed out free at Shell service stations across the country (when petrol stations did give proper service!) and were housed in an album which was purchased separately. This paper reviews the Buprestidae (Coleoptera) of the Australian Beetles series (card numbers 301-360)(1965). The other beetle groups will be dealt with in other papers. The reason for these papers is to provide the illustrations and data for future workers since the Shell Picture Card series are rare and have seldom been referred to as a result. The nomenclature used here generally follows that of Bellamy (2003). Species Card no. 315 - Regal Jewel Beetle, Calodema regale (Laporte & Gory) [as Calodema regalis L.& G.] Card data: “This magnificent insect is extremely well named because it is one of the most beautiful members of the Jewel Beetle family (Buprestidae).

No solamente por dejar atrás nervios, largas sesiones de estudio y exámenes, sino también por las nuevas posibilidades que el tiempo libre nos va a brindar, y que nos va a permitir dedicar más tiempo a nuestras aficiones. Cuando te incorporas al mercado laboral, añoras ese fin de ciclo que cada año tenía lugar al acabar el curso, aunque después, o al menos así me ocurre a mi, lo disfrutamos de nuevo a través de nuestros hijos, viendo como esa felicidad y esas ganas de afrontar el verano les embriaga y nos contagia a todos. Pues es precisamente con ese final de curso, y con esas ganas de aprovechar el verano y de dar rienda suelta a toda esa afición que por los bichos llevamos dentro, que os presentamos este cuarto número de la revista.
