  • Research of the Biodiversity of Tovacov Lakes
    Research of the biodiversity of Tovacov lakes (Czech Republic) Main researcher: Jan Ševčík Research group: Vladislav Holec Ondřej Machač Jan Ševčík Bohumil Trávníček Filip Trnka March – September 2014 Abstract We performed biological surveys of different taxonomical groups of organisms in the area of Tovacov lakes. Many species were found: 554 plant species, 107 spider species, 27 dragonflies, 111 butterfly species, 282 beetle species, orthopterans 17 and 7 amphibian species. Especially humid and dry open habitats and coastal lake zones were inhabited by many rare species. These biotopes were found mainly at the places where mining residuals were deposited or at the places which were appropriately prepared for mining by removing the soil to the sandy gravel base (on conditions that the biotope was still in contact with water level and the biotope mosaic can be created at the slopes with low inclination and with different stages of ecological succession). Field study of biotope preferences of the individual species from different places created during mining was performed using phytosociological mapping and capture traps. Gained data were analyzed by using ordinate analyses (DCA, CCA). Results of these analyses were interpreted as follows: Technically recultivated sites are quickly getting species – homogenous. Sites created by ecological succession are species-richer during their development. Final ecological succession stage (forest) can be achieved in the same time during ecological succession as during technical recultivation. According to all our research results most biologically valuable places were selected. Appropriate management was suggested for these places in order to achieve not lowering of their biological diversity. To even improve their biological diversity some principles and particular procedures were formulated.

  • Palaeoenvironmental Investigations Barry Taylor and Enid Allison
    CHAPTER 19 Palaeoenvironmental Investigations Barry Taylor and Enid Allison Introduction Palaeoenvironmental studies have been an integral part of research at Star Carr since Clark’s first excavations at the site (Walker and Godwin 1954). Since then, a series of increasingly detailed studies have been undertaken, which have created an incredibly precise record of the local environment throughout the time the site was occupied (Cloutman and Smith 1988; Dark 1998a). Rather than replicate this work, the current project has sought to establish in more detail the environmental conditions associated with assemblages of archaeological material in order to provide a better record of the original depositional context. By bringing this together with the results of previous work at the site, it is possible to describe in more detail the environmental context in which the inhabitation of the site took place. Previous work The first palaeoenvironmental investigations at Star Carr were carried out between 1949 and 1951 by Harry Godwin and Donald Walker, and were undertaken as part of Grahame Clark’s excavations at the site (Walker and Godwin 1954). Their work focused primarily on the analysis of the peat stratigraphy recorded in the trenches, and plant macrofossils from the archaeological horizons, which they used to establish the character of the environment contemporary with human activity. The results were brought together withpollen analysis from samples taken from Clark’s cutting II, and data from a series of cores taken through the sediments beyond the extent of the excavations to create the first environmental history of the site. By the mid-1980s developments in palaeoecological methods, and the greater availability of radiocarbon dating, allowed a more detailed study of the lake edge environments to be carried out, this time by Ed Clout- man under the auspices of the Vale of Pickering Research Trust (Cloutman and Smith 1988).

  • Osservazioni Sulla Copula Di Alcune Specie Di Cicindelidae
    Quaderno di Studi e Notizie di Storia Naturale della Romagna Quad. Studi Nat. Romagna, 52: 175-204 (dicembre 2020) ISSN 1123-6787 Maurizio Matteini Palmerini, Margherita Matteini Palmerini & Roberto Fabbri Osservazioni sulla copula di alcune specie di Cicindelidae (Insecta: Coleoptera: Caraboidea: Cicindelidae) Abstract [Observations on mating behaviors of some species of Cicindelidae (Coleoptera, Caraboidea)] The present paper reports observations, carried out mainly from laboratory, on mating behavior (pre- and copula) of eight species of Cicindelidae, belonging to three genera: Calomera littoralis nemoralis (Olivier, 1790), Cicindela campestris Linnaeus, 1758, Cicindela hybrida transversalis Dejean in Latreille & Dejean, 1822, Cicindela majalis Mandl, 1935, Cicindela sylvicola Dejean in Latreille & Dejean, 1822, Cylindera arenaria (Fuesslin, 1775), Cylindera germanica (Linnaeus, 1758), Cylindera trisignata (Dejean in Latreille & Dejean, 1822). All investigated taxa show the same first signal produced by female to highlight mating availability, pointing out the active role of the female in mating. Moreover, three different rejection female behaviors against males are described. The different behaviors patterns observed in the investigated taxa are compared. Key words: Insecta, Coleoptera, Cicindelidae, mating behaviors, Emilia-Romagna Region, Italy. Riassunto Il presente lavoro riguarda l’etologia riproduttiva (incontro tra i due sessi e fasi di copula), con osservazioni condotte essenzialmente in laboratorio, di otto specie di Cicindelidae presenti in Emilia-Romagna ed appartenenti a tre diversi generi: Calomera littoralis nemoralis (Olivier, 1790), Cicindela campestris Linnaeus, 1758, Cicindela hybrida transversalis Dejean in Latreille & Dejean, 1822, Cicindela majalis Mandl, 1935, Cicindela sylvicola Dejean in Latreille & Dejean, 1822, Cylindera arenaria (Fuesslin, 1775), Cylindera germanica (Linnaeus, 1758), Cylindera trisignata (Dejean in Latreille & Dejean, 1822).

  • Assessment of the Conservation Status of Endemic Sculpin Cottus Haemusi (Cottidae) in the River Vit (Danube Tributary), Northwest Bulgaria E
    Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems (2011) 403, 10 © ONEMA, 2011 http://www.kmae-journal.org DOI: 10.1051/kmae/2011071 Assessment of the conservation status of endemic sculpin Cottus haemusi (Cottidae) in the river Vit (Danube Tributary), northwest Bulgaria E. Petrova Uzunova(1) Received March 29, 2011 Revised July 14, 2011 Accepted July 25, 2011 ABSTRACT Key-words: Cottus haemusi (Marinov and Dikov, 1986. Acta Zool. Bulg. 3, 18–23) is an Cottus haemusi, endemic fish species that is restricted to the upper tributaries of the river distribution, Vit, Northwest Bulgaria. After its discovery in 1986, no further investigation abundance, of the C. haemusi population has been conducted. The aims of the present size, study were to determine its current population status based on the distri- conservation bution, abundance and size structure of the C. haemusi population and to measures analyse the main environmental parameters of its habitat. Five upland tri- butaries and the main river were examined in low-water periods in 2009 and 2010. Two-pass electrofishing surveys were performed at 14 sites to estimate species presence, abundance and size distribution. C. haemusi was only detected in two tributaries of the river Vit: Kostina and Toplja. The current investigation failed to find the species at previously recorded sites. The total distribution area of this species is estimated to be 16 200 m2. The observed abundance of the Vit sculpin ranged from 5.6 to 8.4 indivi- duals·100 m–2, with a mean of 7.0 individuals·100 m–2. Investigation of the size structure revealed the relatively low contribution of one-summer-old individuals.

Water beetles are a well-recorded freshwater group in However several water beetles specialising in pond Britain despite lacking the charisma of dragonflies and habitats have become established in the Glasgow area the angling interest of mayflies and the like. The over a similar period. conference on urban biodiversity held by the Glasgow Natural History Society in October 2010 provided the The following examples of some species in decline and stimulus to assess their status in the area. some on the increase serve to illustrate the range of habitats that can be occupied. Water beetles cannot be precisely excised from beetles Noterus clavicornis (De Geer) This species is usually as a whole. Coleoptera are divided into two major referred to as “The Large Noterus” because the name groups, the Adephaga and the Polyphaga. Within the clavicornis has also been applied to the smaller, Adephaga the name “Hydradephaga” has been coined flightless N. crassicornis (Müller), which is very rare to distinguish diving beetles and related species from in Scotland. The earliest Scottish record is a little the ground beetles in the Carabidae. This works fairly uncertain but by 1946 N. clavicornis was in the garden well so long as one ignores the fact that many ground of the greatest proponent of water beetles, Frank beetles are confined to aquatic emergent vegetation or Balfour-Browne, in Dumfriesshire and it was first to the water’s edge.

ZooKeys 121: 1–494. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.121.732 Abstract This paper presents the first complete and updated list of all 3597 species of beetles (Insecta: Coleop- tera) belonging to 92 families found and published in Lithuania until 2011, with comments also pro- vided on the main systematic and nomenclatural changes since the last monograic treatment (Pileckis and Monsevičius 1995, 1997). The introductory section provides a general overview of the main features of territory of the Lithuania, the origins and formation of the beetle fauna and their conservation, the faunistic investigations in Lithuania to date revealing the most important stages of the faunistic research process with reference to the most prominent scientists, an overview of their work, and their contribution to Lithuanian coleopteran faunal research. Species recorded in Lithuania by some authors without reliable evidence and requiring further confir- mation with new data are presented in a separate list, consisting of 183 species.
