The Auchenorrhyncha fauna of thermophilic oak forests of the "Leitha mountains" (Burgenland, Austria). We studied the true hopper (Insecta: Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) fauna of thermophilic oak forests near Eisenstadt (Burgenland, Austria), in the years 2019-2021. Insects were collected using window traps, light traps, pitfall traps, sweep nets and...
Indoor flower strips (as habitats for “beneficial insects”) in foil tunnels were estab-
lished at the “Versuchsstation für Spezialkulturen Wies” (Styria, Austria) in 2013 and
2014. The insect fauna of the flower strips and neighbouring vegetable crops was investigated using yellow trays (= pan traps) and pitfall traps (and Malaise traps for hoverf...
The 9th Insect Camp of the Austrian Entomological Society took place in the Nature Park Weißbach from 16th to 19th June 2023. A high number of taxonomic specialists and students of various entomological and arachnological groups attended the camp and/or supported the post-processing of the specimens. The participants of the camp had the opportunity...
The eighth Insect Camp of the Austrian Entomological Society took place in the Nature Park Leiser Berge from 23 to 26 June 2022. A large number of taxonomic specialists and entomological and arachnological students attended the camp and/or supported the post-processing of samples. During the camp, the participants
had the opportunity to expierence...
“Austrian Insect Camps” are successful annual events of the Austrian Entomological Society (Österreichische Entomologische Gesellschaft = ÖEG), launched in 2014, to address two main aims:
Getting students of biology closer to entomology and gathering biodiversity data from different landscapes in Austria. These camps are platforms that link invert...
The seventh Insect Camp of the Austrian Entomological Society took place in the National Park Thayatal from 18 to 21 June 2021. 24 specialists of entomology, malacology and arachnology and 21 students attended the Insect Camp and/or supported the post-processing of specimens. During the camp time, the participants
gained hands-on experience in fiel...
A total of 173 species is documented, including Phytocoris intricatus Flor, 1861 and Saldula palustris (Douglas, 1874), which are first records for Carinthia. In addition, 124 species were recorded the first time for the National Park and 39 species of a red list category in the Red List of Carinthia are documented. The true bug fauna of the study...
The City Nature Challenge (CNC) from iNaturalist is a competitive event between
cities and carried out since 2016 - initially only in the USA - with the aim of collecting as much data as possible about the occurrence of species using georeferenced, digital photos or recordings. The gained data should create a better basis for biodiversity studies a...
Trivellone, V., Achtziger, R., Fründ, E., Funke, L., Hollier, J., Holzinger, W.E., Huber, E., Kunz, G., Mühlethaler, R., Nickel, H., Niedringhaus, R., Panassiti, B., Ramsay, A., Rösch, V., Seljak, G., van Klink, R. & Pollini Paltrinieri, L.

Insect communities (Insecta: Coleoptera, Heteroptera, Auchenorrhyncha) in windthrow areas at Mt. Latemar (Italy, South Tyrol). The storm "Vaia" caused large-scale windthrow in various parts of South Tyrol in Octo-ber 2018. One of the most heavily affected areas was a montane and sub-alpine spruce stand known as "Latemarwald" in the vicinity of Lake...
Acanalonia conica (Say, 1830), Aplos simplex (Germar, 1830) and Hishimonus hamatus Kuoh, 1976 are three alien species reported for the first time from Austria. They were found in a garden centre in Graz and presumably imported with ornamental shrubs from Italy. Another first record is Chiasmus conspurcatus (Perris, 1857), an indigenous species foun...
In course of a „summer school“ on Auchenorrhyncha, leaf- and planthoppers were collect-ed in the „Stadtpark“, an urban park covering an area of approx. 220.000 m² in the very center of Graz (Styria, Austria), in two days and one night in July 2019. 95 Auchenorrhyn-cha species were collected, among them 10 alien species. Edwardsiana platanicola was...
Report on the sixth “insect camp” of the Austrian Entomological Society:
invertebrate diversity all around Güssing (Southern Burgenland, Austria)
The sixth insect camp of the Austrian Entomological Society took place in the vicinity
of Güssing in Southern Burgenland (Austria) from May 16th to May 19th, 2019. In total,
24 participants from Tyrol, Vi...
The 25th Central European Auchenorrhyncha meeting took place in Arnhem, The Netherlands on 14−17 September 2018. It was the first time the meeting was held in The Netherlands, and for this reason, excursions were undertaken to five typical Dutch landscapes. Three of the excursions involved newly created nature reserves, located on former agricultur...
The fifth insect camp of the Entomological Society
of Austria (ESA) was conducted from April 27 to May 2, 2018. Many of the 39 participants
were recognized experts on different arthropod groups. Fifty-seven localities
within and nearby the Donau-Auen National Park were investigated, and a total of 1265
invertebrate species identified: 8 Collembola,...
Hemiptera records gained in July 2015 in course of the 7 th European Hemiptera Congress in Styria are presented. In total, 144 Auchenorrhyncha, 143 Heteroptera, 13 Psylloidea and 2 Aphididae species were collected. Ribautodelphax imitans (Delphacidae), Eurhadina saageri (Cicadellidae), Notonecta maculata (Notonectidae), Notonecta meridionalis (Noto...
The biodiversity of Auchenorrhyncha on a former mowed and grazed subalpine
meadow of the Reißkofel was investigated. The sampling was done on the one hand
by standardized quantitative means using a suction sampler and on the other hand by
qualitative methods using a sweep net in addition. This basic research will reveal
changes in the Auchenorrhync...
