KOVÁCS TIBOR, MAGOS GÁBOR & URBÁN LÁSZLÓ ABSTRACT: (Rare and protected insects (Insecta) in the area of the Mátra and Tarnavidék II.) This paper provides locality data of 106 insect species from the Mátra Mountains, the Tarna Region and the Uppony Hills. Eight spe- cies are of community interest listed in the Habitats Directive (Cerambyx cerdo, Cucujus cinnaberinus, Limoniscus violaceus, Lucanus cervus, Osmoderma eremita, Probaticus subrugosus, Rosalia alpina, Saga pedo); one species (Osmoderma eremita) is strictly protected and 49 species are protected in Hungary. Species interesting from faunistical point of view: Omoglymmius germari, Osmoderma eremita, Anthaxia plicata, Cerophytum elateroides, Megapenthes lugens, Podeonius acuticornis, Aplocnemus integer, Prostomis mandibularis, Tetratoma desmarestii, Mycetoma suturale, Necydalis ulmi. The following species are new to the Mátra Mountains: Omoglymmius germari (Rhysodidae); Anthaxia plica- ta (Buprestidae); Cerophytum elateroides (Cerophytidae); Ampedus elegantulus, A. nigerrimus, A. nigroflavus, Ischnodes sanguinicollis, Lacon querceus, Megapenthes lugens, Podeonius acuticornis, Reitterelater bouyoni (Elateridae); Chlorophorus hungaricus, Paracorymbia fulva, Necydalis ulmi (Cerambycidae); Camptorhinus simp- lex, C. statua (Curculionidae). The following natural habitats are especially valuable on the basis of their insect fauna (taking into the considera- tion a previous paper on the same area): Ágasvár – Ágasvár-oldal, Cserepes-tetõ, Disznó-tetõ – Fekete-tó, Ezerháztetõ – Szénégetõ – Tót-hegyes, Kisgombosi-legelõ, Mraznica-tetõ – Tõkés-kút-tetõ, Oroszlánvár, Óvár – Óvár-oldal, Som-hegy, Úrráteszi-rész (Mátra Mountains); Burja-hegyese, Debornya-fõ, Kis-Nádú-völgy, Ökör-hegy, Szállás- verõ-hegy, Szederjes-verõ, Vajdavár (Tarna Region); Damasa-hegy, Damasa-szakadék (Uppony Hills). -

Almost 300 species were collected on fungi and in flight interception traps. Among them, 18 species were recorded from the Western Beskid Mts. for the first time, 41 were new records for the Babia Góra NP, and 16 were from various categories on the Polish Red List of Animals. The first certain record of Bolitochara tecta ASSING, 2014 in Poland is reported. KEY WORDS: beetles, macromycetes, ecology, trophic interactions, Polish Carpathians, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Introduction Beetles of the Babia Góra massif have been studied for over 150 years. The first study of the Coleoptera of Babia Góra was by ROTTENBERG th (1868), which included data on 102 species. During the 19 century, INTERESTING BEETLES (COLEOPTERA) IN THE BABIA GÓRA NP 213 several other papers including data on beetles from Babia Góra were published: 37 species were recorded from the area by KIESENWETTER (1869), a single species by NOWICKI (1870) and 47 by KOTULA (1873). -

As a consequence, many species have become threatened, especially those dependent on dead wood. Integration of conservation in forest management is therefore essential for protecting boreal forest species diversity. To optimise conservation efforts, we need to understand species habitat requirements and diversity patterns in managed forests. This thesis aims to increase our understanding of insect species diversity patterns on clearcuts in boreal forest landscapes. I have surveyed beetles, bees and wasps on clearcuts in two boreal forest regions in Sweden and assessed the importance of clearcut properties and composition of surrounding landscape for species occurrence and diversity. Locally, amount of dead wood was positively associated with high species richness and individual species occurrence of certain wood-dependent beetles. Bee and wasp species richness increased with high local flower richness and clearcut size. Landscape composition was at least as important as local habitat characteristics for shaping diversity patterns. -

Half of the forest edges studied were created by bark beetle attacks (interior edges), the others result from clearance for farming by humans. At each forest edge, five traps were installed as follows: one trap was placed in the open area 50–80 m distant from the forest edge, two traps at the edge (one at ground level, one in the canopy), and two traps in the forest interior 70–100 m away from the edge (one at ground level, one in the canopy). We caught and determined 10,966 specimens representing 421 insect species: 240 beetles, 96 true bugs, 65 Aculeata, and 20 lacewings. The highest number of species was found in the open spaces and at the edges. Bark beetle gaps are shown as hot spots of insect biodiversity. Key words: interior forest edge, exterior forest edge, biodiversity, flight interception traps, bark beetles. -

Russian researchers from Petrozavodsk (Karelian Research Centre) , St Peters- burg (Komarov Botanical Institute) and Moscow (Moscow State University) were involved in the studies. The goal of the researches was to study the biolgical value of the prevailing forest fragments. An index of the value of the forest fragments was compiled. The index includes the amount and quality and suc- cession of the decaying wood in the sites. The groups studied were Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and ap- hyllophoraceous fungi. Coleoptera species were were most numerous in Tapionaho, where there were over 200 spedies found of the total number of 282 found in the studies. -

Chapter 1 THE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED BURNING OF CLEAR-CUTS ON SAPROXYLIC BEETLE DIVERSITY ARE SHORT-LIVED AND DEPEND ON FOREST-FIRE CONTINUITY Jonas Victorsson1,2,*, Lars-Ove Wikars1,3 and Stefan Ås1 1Animal Ecology, Evolutionary Biology Centre, Uppsala University, Norbyvägen 18 D, SE-752 36 Uppsala, Sweden 2Department of Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Box 7044, SE-750 07 Uppsala, Sweden 3Hovgården 66, SE -781 91 Borlänge, Sweden ABSTRACT Before modern forestry started, forest fire was the dominating large-scale disturbance in boreal forest. Prescribed burning of clear-cuts is increasingly used as a conservation measure but is potentially less beneficial for fire-associated species than burning of intact forest. We investigated the temporal effect of prescribed burning of clear-cuts in two regions in central Sweden: one region with a relatively unbroken forest- fire continuity (Orsa) and one region with a broken fire continuity (Långshyttan) more typical for Fennoscandia.
