Over last century in Europe a tendency of change in species ranges has occurred for insects of different taxonomic groups. We analyzed the changes that have taken place in the distribution of some soft-winged beetles (Malachiinae, Melyridae) species in the Carpathian region. The obtained data are based on a study of museum beetles’ collections and...

... temperature on the planet has increased by about 0.8 ºC (IPCC, 2007). The Carpathian region is no exception ( Micu et al., 2021). The data of multi years' climate observation carried out by the Transcarpathian Regional Centre of Hydrometeorology indicate the increase of average air temperature in the foothills of the Transcarpathian region, also (Fig. ...
Context 2
... our opinion, the expansion of the species ranges and penetration of new species into the Carpathian region from surrounding areas can be attributed to climate change, particularly warming. This hypothesis confirmed by the multi year air temperature data provided by the Transcarpathian Centre of Hydrometeorology (Fig. 6). In mountainous ecosystems, the increase in average annual temperatures results in upward movement of ranges of species' elevational ...
