The many publications on forests and moth communities accomplished in different sampling regions and habitat types have produced diverse results and conclusions. The multiplicity of outcomes requires regional or local investigations on forest traits and herbivores to determine optimal management methods to maintain biodiversity and ecological stabi...
Our study aimed to investigate the Collembola communities inhabiting dead wood-related microhabitats. The study was carried out in an old remnant floodplain forest (Csáfordi-forest, Northwest Hungary) owing to the massive amount of dead wood in its area. For the survey, we selected 11 microhabitats, including lying dead wood of different stages of...
Kutatásunk célja a holtfa mikrohabitatokhoz kötődő ugróvillás-közösségek vizsgálata volt. Kutatási területként a Répce menti maradvány ligeterdőt (Csáfordi-erdő, Győr-Moson-Sopron vármegye) választottuk, amelyben nagy mennyiségű álló és fekvő holtfa jelenléte jellemző. A felmérésekhez és mintavételekhez összesen 11 mikrohabitatot választottunk ki,...
The sycamore lace bug (Corythucha ciliata Say, 1832) is of North American origin, but after its introduction to Europe (1964), South America (1985), Asia (1995), Australia (2006), and Africa (2014), it became an abundant and widespread pest on plane (Platanus spp.) trees. We analysed a 1356 bp long fragment of the mtDNA (COI gene) of 327 sycamore l...
The Collembolan genus Lepidocyrtus is subdivided into up to eight subgenera, of which only Lepidocyrtus s.str. (Bourlet, 1839) and Lanocyrtus (Yoshii & Suhardjono, 1989) are represented by European species. The discovery of unique characters in the European species Lepidocyrtus tomosvaryi (rounded dental tubercle) and L. peisonis (lateral tuft of l...
Background:
The plane leaf miner, Phyllonorycter platani is a widely distributed insect species on plane trees and has a well-documented colonisation history in Europe over the last century. However, phylogeographic data of the species are lacking.
Results:
We analysed 284 individuals from 38 populations across Europe, Asia, and North America. A...
Forest vegetation layers might be significant drivers for moth community characteristics. The overstory plays a significant role for understory vegetation, thus potentially affecting the moth communities as well. Herein, the relation between canopy-layer traits and macromoth assemblages was investigated to examine which factors are important for Le...
A question posed by many community ecologists is: which factors influence biodiversity? The answer is: multiple factors, but specialists have agreed that plants have an important role. Thus, one of the key components in maintaining the biodiversity of temperate forests is the vegetation that has a strong influence on herbivores. A considerable mass...
Vegetation beneath the canopy might be an important factor for macromoth community composition in forest ecosystems, strongly determined by forest management practices. Herein, we compared nocturnal macrolepidoptera communities and herb layers in young and old sessile oak (Quercus petraea) dominated forest stands in the Sopron Mountains (Western Hu...
We investigated the responses of collembolan communities to pine afforestation in an area formerly characterized by a mosaic of autochthonous downy oak woodland and steppe meadows. Study sites were selected in mixed stands of black pine a nd Scots pine and control samples were taken from downy oak stands and open steppe meadows. A total of 1884 Col...
