Habitat destruction and deterioration of habitat quality caused a severe decline of biodiversity, such as insect diversity. In this study, we analyze insect diversity and biomass across agro-environments. We collected flying insects with 20 malaise traps across a landscape mosaic consisting of organic (eight traps) and conventional (four traps) far...

Ein weiteres Vorkommen der vom Aussterben bedrohten Graslilieneule Episema glaucina (Esper, 1789) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Unterfranken
Article
Hoverflies are a conspicuous and popular family within the Diptera. The larvae as well as the adults are able to colonize a wide range of habitats, and many species play important roles as pollinators, in pest management and nowadays in applied nature conservation issues. Despite of this, the state of knowledge on the hoverflies of Austria is defic...

Determining the size of the German insect fauna requires better knowledge of several megadiverse families of Diptera and Hymenoptera that are taxonomically challenging. This study takes the first step in assessing these “dark taxa” families and provides species estimates for four challenging groups of Diptera (Cecidomyiidae, Chironomidae, Phoridae,...

Im Landkreis Passau und speziell im Donauengtal fanden wir eine bemerkenswerte Anzahl an seltenen Arten von Stechimmen und das Arteninventar ist sehr umfassend. Mögliche Ursachen könnten die Funktion des Donautals als Korridor nach Südost-Europa in Zusammenhang mit dem Klimawandel sein. Dabei erscheinen die Habitate im Donauengtal auf den ersten Bl...

531 genetic clusters (BINs) of gall midges were retrieved in a single Malaise trap that was set up in 2017 within the inner-city premises of the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology in Munich, Germany. Although the sample obtained from this trap is very limited in time and space, the number of detected BINs correspond to 63.5 % of the number of Cec...

Choerades amurensis (Hermann, 1914) is reported for the first time in Germany. The occurence of Pogonosoma minor Loew, 1869 and Lasiopogon immaculatus Strobl, 1893 in Germany is confirmed.

DNA metabarcoding was utilized for a large‐scale, multi‐year assessment of biodiversity in Malaise trap collections from the Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany, Bavaria). Principal Component Analysis of read count‐based biodiversities revealed clustering in concordance with whether collection sites were located inside or outside of the National...

The first European records of Chrysotoxum volaticum Séguy, 1961 from Spain and France, and Platycheirus marokkanus Kassebeer, 1998 from Spain are provided. These are further examples of North African species also present in the Iberian Peninsula. Diagnostic characters are given to separate C. volaticum and the similar Chrysotoxum bicinctum (Linnaeu...

Andrena bimaculata wird aktuell zahlreich in der Rheinebene Baden-Württembergs nachgewiesen. Die Art ist nach langer Abwesenheit seit 1997 wieder in diesem Bundesland präsent und scheint sich in Sandgebieten der Rheinebene auszubreiten. Im Südwesten kann sie im Frühling regelmäßig an blühenden Gehölzen (z. B. Prunus spinosa) beobachtet werden. Die...

The number of insect species and insect abundances decreased severely during the past decades over major parts of Central Europe. Previous studies documented declines of species richness, abundances, shifts in species composition, and decreasing biomass of flying insects. In this study, we present a standardized approach to quantitatively and quali...

This study summarizes results of a DNA barcoding campaign on German Diptera, involving analysis of 45,040 specimens. The resultant DNA barcode library includes records for 2,453 named species comprising a total of 5,200 BINs, including 2,700 CO1 haplotype clusters without species level assignment, so called “dark taxa”. Overall, 88 out of 117 famil...

Malaisefallen sind die beste derzeit bekannte Methode zur Erfassung eines breiten Artenspektrums flugfähiger Insekten und sie kommen daher u.a. in Biodiversitätsprojekten und im Insekten-Monitoring zum Einsatz. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der aktuelle Kenntnisstand zu den Einsatzgebieten, zur Funktionsweise und zum erfassten Artenspektrum aus den...

The genus-group taxon Megatrigon Johnson, 1898, stat. nov., is revised and treated as a valid genus within the Merodontini (= Eumerini). Extensive diagnoses are given for the genus and for its three constituent species groups: argenteus group [11 spp.], nivalis group [monotypic], sexfasciatus group [3 spp.]. Five new generic combinations are propos...

The German Barcoding initiatives BFB and GBOL have generated a reference library of more than 16,000 metazoan species, which is now ready for applications concerning next generation molecular biodiversity assessments. To streamline the barcoding process, we have developed a meta-barcoding pipeline: We pre-sorted a single malaise trap sample (obtain...

In 2007 and 2008 several specimens of Microdon miki (Diptera, Syrphdae), classified as extinct in Germany, were recorded in the Bavarian Forest National Park. In 2014 May 24tʰ we visited two of these localities to search for puparia. We succeeded in one of the sites, where four puparia were found under loose bark and wood of a lying trunk of Picea...

Parasitism of common toads (Bufo bufo) by the calliphorid blowfly Lucilia bufonivora is well-known, yet little information is available on other blowflies infesting living toads or other amphibians in central Europe. In this paper we describe an infestation of an adult female Bufo bufo by Lucilia ampullacea which appears to be the first record of a...

Two new species of Psychodidae, Trichomyia stephani nov. spec. (subfamily Trichomyiinae) and Telmatoscopus thuringicus nov. spec. (subfamily Psychodinae) collected in Germany are described and figured. The larvae, like those of their close relatives are most probably bound to decaying wood.

Baumkronenforschung galt bis vor wenigen Jahrzehnten als die letzte große Grenze in der biologischen Forschung. Sowohl in den Tropen als auch den Wäldern der gemäßigten Zonen hat die Erforschung der oberen Waldschichten neue Erkenntnisse zum Wald erbracht. Im Rahmen des „Tages der Artenvielfalt“ der Zeitschrift GEO wurde die älteste Tanne des Natio...

The Central European taxa of the genus Microdon Meigen are revised. Four species are recognised which can be distinguished by characters of the adults and the puparia. Two new synonymies are proposed: M. rhenanus Andries, 1912 = M. mutabilis (Linnaeus, 1758) syn. nov., M. fuscitarsis Schummel, 1842 = M. analis (Macquart, 1842) syn. nov.. M. latifro...
