The aim of the study was to discover habitat preferences of the forest dung beetle Anoplotrupes stercorosus (Scriba, 1791). Beetle specimens were collected using modified Barber traps in the Białowieża Forest, in 1999. In total, 14980 specimens of the forest dung beetle were collected. According to the obtained results, the optimal habitat types of the beetle in question included fresh broadleaved forest, fresh mixed broadleaved forest, fresh mixed coniferous forest, moist broadleaved forest and fresh coniferous forest. It was discovered that the beetle in question was more abundant in fresh forest habitats than in moist and boggy forest habitats or in alder swamp forests.
In this faunistic work, the fauna of Scarabaeoidea from Mazandaran Province (northern Iran) is studied. In total, 23 species from 13 genera were collected and identified. Pleurophorus variolosus (KOLEN.) is a new record for the fauna of Iran.
New faunistic data concerning 5 species from the family Lucanidae, 1 from the family Trogidae, 1 from the family Ochodaeidae, and 4 from the family Geotrupidae, all coming from Western Poland, have been presented. As regards a few of them, hitherto unpublished historical data have been also demonstrated.
Chorologic data from research and observations in Western Poland conducted throughout the last 30 years has been presented. The data concerns 6 Geotrupidae species, namely: Anoplotrupes stercorosus (SCR.), Geotrupes mutator (MARSH.), G. spiniger (MARSH.), G. stercorarius (L.), Trypocopris vernalis (L.) and Typhaeus typhoeus (L.). The most rarely observed species was Geotrupes mutator.
The catch rate and body length of Anoplotrupes stercorosus and Trypocopris vernalis were studied in 2018 on permanent plots established in 2003 in Scots pine stands left for spontaneous succession in the Piska Forest (N Poland). The plots comprised treatment A – severely disturbed stands (canopy cover of 10−30%), treatment B – moderately disturbed stands (canopy cover of 40−60%) and treatment C – the least disturbed stands in which all or nearly all trees survived (canopy cover of 70−90%). Each treatment class was replicated six times. In addition, we included a Scots pine plantation established in 2006 after the soil preparation as a stand in the earliest phase of succession. The following hypotheses were set: (1) severity of stand disturbance affects the body size of both species and (2) in the surviving remnants of stands (later phase of succession development) the body length of both species is greater than in disturbed stands and in the young plantation. No differences between the catch rate of both species in different treatments was detected (tab. 1 and 2). However we found significantly longer body of T. vernalis. The increase in the difference between the length of both species in the least disturbed stands as well as in the late stages of stand development was found (fig. 1 and 2). The direct effect of the LAI and inversely proportional effect of soil temperature on the catch rate and length of the body of A. stercorosus and, to a lesser extent, T. vernalis were observed (fig. 1). The high catch rate of A. stercorosus and the length of its body was linked with the soil covered only with forest litter (which occurs in dense stands with a high LAI index) (fig. 2). The catch rate of T. vernalis was correlated with the predominant nitrophilous Deschampsia fexuosa, which suggests the preferential occurrence of T. vernalis in ‘open’ stands with a high level of solar radiation. In turn, the length of T. vernalis body correlated with a high proportion of Calluna vulgaris, which may suggest a dependence of this parameter on light reaching the soil. The above observations indicate that in the production cycle of Scots pine stands, T. vernalis prefers open stands (especially clear−cuts, young plantations), while A. stercorosus is more often met in dense stands. The catch rate of both species is not suitable for zooindication research, while the length of their body is suitable. The higher the stage of ecological successive of the pine stand, the greater the difference in the body length of these species.
The aim of the study was to analyse the changes in abundance and species composition of dung beetles (coprophagous Scarabaeoidea) inhabiting Scots pine stands in various stage of the development. Beetles were collected in baited traps in Człuchów Forest, Pomeranian Lake District (NW Paland). In total we collected 87,596 specimens representing 41 species (tab. 2). The structure of dung beetle communities inhabiting analysed Scots pine stands changes in the course of the forest developmental cycle. Lands adjoining to a forest, clear−cut areas and plantations are inhabited by heliophilous communities of dung beetles, with superdominant species Trypocopris vernalis and dominant species such as Anoplotrupes stercorosus, Aphodius pedellus, Euorodalus coenosus and Chilothorax distinctus (tab. 2, fig. 5a). Thicket stage, pole timber stage, and the mature stand are inhabited by umbrophilous dung beetle communities characteristic for pine stands, with superdominant species Anoplotrupes stercorosus and dominant species Trypocopris vernalis (tab. 2, fig. 5b). At thicket stage the number of dung beetles species is dramatically reduced in comparison to other developmental stages (fig. 3). Moreover, a fundamental change in species composition is observed.
The mite Spatulaphorus gorganica Rahiminejad et Hajiqanbar sp. nov. (Acari: Heterostigmatina: Pygmephoridae) collected under elytra of the host beetle, Geotrupes spiniger (Marsham, 1802) (Col.: Geotrupidae) is described and illustrated from Oak forests of Golestan province, North of Iran. Moreover, host range of the genus is reviewed and a key to world species of the genus Spatulaphorus is provided.
In the present paper records for 4 species of Scarabaeidae, 24 species of Aphodiidae, 5 species of Melolonthidae, 2 species of Rutelidae, 1 species of Dynastidae, 5 species of Cetoniidae, 4 species of Geotrupidae and 4 species of Lucanidae from Puszcza Borecka are given. Twenty one of them are for the first time recorded from the north-eastern part of Poland.
