Material was pitfall trapped in 2010 and 2011 on twelve sites of the agricultural landscape in the Prešov town and its near vicinity, Eastern Slovakia. A total of 14,763 ground beetle individuals were entrapped. Material collection resulted into 92 Carabidae species, with the following six species dominating: Poecilus cupreus, Pterostichus melanarius, Pseudoophonus rufipes, Brachinus crepitans, Anchomenus dorsalis and Poecilus versicolor. Studied habitats differed significantly in the number of entrapped individuals, activity abundance as well as representation of the carabids according to their habitat preferences and ability to fly. However, no significant distinction was observed in the diversity, evenness neither dominance.

  • Fauna Coleoptera Des Kreises Altenburg“ Vorgelegt Werden
    ©Mauritianum, Naturkundliches Museum Altenburg Mauritiana (Altenburg) 14 (1993) 3, S. 243-254 Fauna Coleóptera des Kreises Altenburg Zweite Ergänzung Erwin Naumann Zusammenfassung: Seit 1987 wurden im Kreis Altenburg 147 Käferarten erstmals nachgcwicscn und in die vorliegende Übersicht neben weiteren aufgenommen. Damit ergibt sich, daß in der Zeit 1838 — 1990 im untersuchten Gebiet ca. 1 800 Käferarten registriert wurden. Nach der Veröffentlichung der ersten Ergänzung im Jahre 1989 mit dem Stand der faunistischen Erfassung bis zum 31. 12. 1986 kann nun die zweite Ergänzung der „Fauna Coleoptera des Kreises Altenburg“ vorgelegt werden. Ich halte es für sinnvoll, auch für die zweite Ergänzung die bisherige Form bcizubchaltcn. Wenn bei verschiedenen Arten die Fundjahre noch in die Zeit der vorangegangenen Zusammenstellungen gehören, ist das darin begründet, daß die Determination dieser Exemplare erst später erfolgte oder die Fundmeldungen vorher nicht bekannt waren. Wie bisher weisen die Abkürzungen im Anschluß an die Fundort-Angabe daraufhin, daß Erwin Naumann (N) oder U lrich Poller (P) diese Art nachwiesen. Gehen Fundnachweise auf andere Personen zurück, ist das namentlich oder in Fußnoten vermerkt. Zwei Kreuze (+ + ) weisen darauf hin, daß diese Art erstmals im Kreisgebiet nachgewiesen wurden. Ein Kreuz (-(-) deutet einen neuen Fundort an, ohne Kreuz sind die Arten vermerkt, die seit längerer Zeit wieder nachgewiesen wurden. In dieser zweiten Ergänzung1) sind nur die Arten aufgenommen, die nach dem gegenwärtig gültigen und bekannten nomenklatorischen Stand bzw. von Koleopterologen determiniert wurden, deren fachliche Kompetenz anerkannt ist. So bedanke ich mich für die Determina­ tion der Käfer verschiedener Familien bei Herrn Dr. Scholz , Herrn Dr. Müller - Motzfeld , Herrn Dr. Hieke, Herrn Dr.

Acta Biologica Sibirica 7: 125–141. https://doi. org/10.3897/abs.7.e67015 Abstract Bulgarian ground beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) fauna is relatively well studied but there are still many species and regions in the country which are not well researched. The present study aims at complementing the data about the distribution of the carabids from the tribes Pterostichini, Spho- drini, and Platynini, containing many diverse, interesting, and endemic species. It gives new records for 67 species and 23 zoogeographical regions in Bulgaria. The material was collected in the period from 1926 to 2021 through different sampling methods. Twenty-three species are recorded for the first time in different regions. Six species are reported for the second time in the regions where they were currently collected. Thirty-one species have not been reported for more than 20 years in Eastern and Middle Stara Planina Mts., Kraishte region, Boboshevo-Simitli valley, Sandanski-Petrich valley, Lyulin Mts., Vitosha Mts., Rila Mts., Pirin Mts., Slavyanka Mts., Thracian Lowland, and Sakar-Tundzha re- gion.

MOSKOWITZ A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Entomology Written under the direction of Dr. Michael L. May And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION THE LIFE HISTORY, BEHAVIOR AND CONSERVATION OF THE TIGER SPIKETAIL DRAGONFLY (CORDULEGASTER ERRONEA HAGEN) IN NEW JERSEY by DAVID PAUL MOSKOWITZ Dissertation Director: Dr. Michael L. May This dissertation explores the life history and behavior of the Tiger Spiketail dragonfly (Cordulegaster erronea Hagen) and provides recommendations for the conservation of the species. Like most species in the genus Cordulegaster and the family Cordulegastridae, the Tiger Spiketail is geographically restricted, patchily distributed with its range, and a habitat specialist in habitats susceptible to disturbance. Most Cordulegastridae species are also of conservation concern and the Tiger Spiketail is no exception. However, many aspects of the life history of the Tiger Spiketail and many other Cordulegastridae are poorly understood, complicating conservation strategies. In this dissertation, I report the results of my research on the Tiger Spiketail in New Jersey. The research to investigate life history and behavior included: larval and exuvial sampling; radio- telemetry studies; marking-resighting studies; habitat analyses; observations of ovipositing females and patrolling males, and the presentation of models and insects to patrolling males.
