Materials to the knowledge of bees (Hymenoptera, Aculeata, Apiformes) of Trójmiejski SUMMARY The state of knowledge of the bees of the Trójmiejski Landscape Park and its local vicinity was presented. In total, 186 species of bees were found, accounting for 38.1% of the national fauna of this insect group. In the analysed bee community, 29 species (15.6%) belong to endangered, very rare and rare taxa in Poland. Highly endangered species include: Sphecodes marginatus, Osmia inermis, Hylaeus variegatus, Andrena florea, A. pusilla, Lasioglossum sexmaculatum, and Nomada opaca.
Herpetofauna of the Lubrzanka River Canyon SUMMARY
The observations were carried out in the years 2021-2023 on the area of the special area of conservation PLH260037 Lubrzanka River Canyon. This area is located in the central part of the 安i皻okrzyskie Province (central Poland). The SAC protects the river canyon and central part of the Lubrzanka river valley. The Lubrzanka is accompanied by oxbow lakes, bends, backwaters, wet meadows, riparian forests and broadleaved forests.
Hover flies, soldier flies and thick-headed flies (Diptera: Syrphidae, Stratiomyidae, SUMMARY
Diptera are one of the most numerous orders of insects in the world. Of the approximately 6,900 species of flies occurring in Poland, only 55 species of flies were known from the Slowinski National Park (north Poland), i.e. less than 1% of the national fauna. This study provides comprehensive new knowledge about the occurrence of three families of flies (Diptera) in the Slowinski National Park: Syrphidae, Stratiomyidae and Conopidae. Most of the data were collected during a planned year-long study of these flies conducted in the 2022 season. The material was enriched by data from photographic documentation of Park employees from previous years. A total of 145 species of hoverflies (Syrphidae), 8 species of soldier flies (Stratiomyidae) and 11 species of thick-headed flies (Conopidae) were recorded, as documented from 97 sites of various habitats, based on the determination of almost 1,200 specimens. Based on the Red List classifications for Poland or Europe, seven of the species are at high risk of extinction (categories EN and VU) and six are near threatened (NT). Data have been provided for the future classification of another six species (DD).
SHORT FLORISTIC, FAUNISTIC AND MICOBIOTIC NOTES
Blue clubmoss Diphasiastrum tristachyum – a new species in the flora of the Magura SUMMARY The blue clubmoss is a rare and endangered species in Poland, under strict protection. After 1990, it was confirmed in almost 30 locations in the country. Only three historical sites in the Sudetes are known from the Polish mountains. In 2021, the first location of the blue clubmoss in the Polish Carpathians was discovered, located in Ciechania in the Beskid Niski Mts., within the borders of the Magura National Park. This species occurs in a grassland habitat with common heather created as a result of human activity. This is the only currently existing location in the Polish mountains with a rather surprising occurrence, as this species is very low in Poland.
CHRONICLE European bison and Bia這wie瘸 Primeval Forest in the Lviv magazine υwiec SUMMARY In 1878, W這dzimierz Dzieduszycki, a naturalist and patron of science, founded the Galician Hunting Society. The society published the magazine υwiec from 1878 to 1939. A significant number of the articles in this magazine were devoted to the Bia這wie瘸 Forest, nature conservation and bison. Our work analyses these articles, revealing previously unknown information and proving that hunting periodicals are a very important historiographic source for understanding the Bia這wie瘸 Forest and nature conservation in this part of Europe. |
