| Bulánková E; Degma P; | Structure of taxocoenoses of preimaginal stages of Diptera (excl. Chironomidae, Simuliidae) in the Turiec river basin (West Carpathians) | 3-15 | |
| Abstract: The authors found 58 taxa (44 species) of 14 Diptera families (excl. Chironomidae, Simuliidae) from 13 localities in the Turiec river basin. With all localities, high dominance was reached by predator Dicranota spp., the dominant species of the Turiec river's epirhithral were rheophils from the genus Berdeniella, in epirhithral of the Valča brook dominated species Satchelliella stammeri and Oxycera pardalina. In metarhithral of the Turiec river, Gader and Valča brooks and in their ecotonal zone representants of family Athericidae dominated. The abundance was the highest in the middle part of the Gader brook, where the highest values were reached by Satchelliella stammeri, Dicranota spp., Ibisia marginata and Berdeniella illiesi larvae and at the same time in this locality (loc. 8) the diversity was the lowest. This locality complied with sufficient water discharge with metarhitrophils (Ibisia marginata) and with high current speed, high volume of 02 and low temperature with epirhithrophils (Berdeniella spp.). Species diversity was higher in epirhithral and lower in metarhithral in the Turiec river and Gader brook. Opposite situatión was in the Valča brook, where different trend of diversity was caused probably first of all by different water discharge, which appears to be one of the most important abiotic factors which determine species diversity value of Diptera preimaginal stages in the fresh waters. | |||
| Durmek V; Majzlan O; Kodada J; | Phytophagous Beetles (Coleoptera phytophaga) in the Soil of the Danube Forest Saliceto-Populetum | 17-24 | |
| Abstract: The hatching activity of imagoes of the zooedaphone macrofauna, followed on the Čičov locality during the vegetation period 1990, revealed a dominance throughout the year of the Nematocera (Diptera) 17,4 % . The total frequency of the Arthropoda for 192 days was 5973 specimens per m2. Beetles (Coleoptera) were represented by 36 families, while phytophagous beetles made up 39 % within the beetle association. In the phytophagous associatíon, two species of beetles predominated, which make up the socion Longitarsicium luridi, a variant with Dorytomus puberulus: This socion is made up of 44 species and indicates humid sites in forest soils of the Danube region. | |||
| Halgoš J; Dovoedo GI; | Ecology of Spring Mosquito species (Diptera, Culicidae) in the Šúr Natural Reserve at Bratislava | 25-31 | |
| Abstract: The authors studied
ecology and seasonal dynamics of preimaginal stages of seven spring
mosquito species at 2 localities in Šúr Natural Reserve. The first
one was situated directly in the alderwood and the second one at the
border of the wood. Species Aedes cataphylla dominantes the
alderwood, Aedes rusticus the border. The development of preimaginal
stages starts in the beginning of March and finishes in the end of
April. The representation of various species instars was examined in
the period of development. Key words: Mosquito, preimaginal stages; State Natural Reserve Šúr, Slovakia |

| Holecová M; | Seasonal dynamics of crown weevil stratocoenoses (Coleptera, Curculionidae) on the common hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna Jacq.) in non-forest ecosystems | 33-46 | |
| Abstract: The author focused
on study of the crown stratocoenoses dynamics in Crataegus monogyna
JACQ. This woody plant often grows solitarily or in small groups on
mesophilic and subxerophilic meadows of the alliance Arrhenatherion
elatioris (BR.-BL.1925) W KOCH 1926 and in xerothermic grassy
communities belonging mainly to the alliances Mesobrornion BR.-BL.
et MooR 1938 em OBERDORFER 1949 and Festucion vallesiaceae KLIKA
1931. The investigation were undertaken in Little Carpathians (SW
Slovakia) on four study areas over three vegetation periods. The
abundance dynamics, changes in species number and alpha-diversity of
the weevil communities have been investigated. A special attention
has been paid to the seasonal changes in representation of the topic
and tropic groups of weevil imagines in the individual months of the
vegetation period. Key words: Coleoptera, Curculionidae, crown stratocoenoses, Crataegus monogyna, Slovakia |

| Kminiak M; | A Qualitative Characteristic of Amphibians and Reptiles under Conditions Prevailing in Southwestern Slovakia (Region Bratislava and Environs) | 47-62 | |
| Abstract: A stock-taking
survey helped to evaluate the species representation and the
adaptative abilities of amphibians and reptiles found in 36
localities on the southwestern area of Slovakia (26 localities for
amphibians and 28 for reptiles). A total of 14 species of Amphibia
classes (5 families) and 8 species in the Reptile class (3 families)
have been recorded. Of these, 9 and 7 species respectively, were
protected. The most suitable for amphibians were aquatic habitats (recorded
7 types); and dry steppes, ecotone zones for reptiles (14 types have
been recorded). Key words: Amphibians, Reptiles, distribution, habitats, destabilizing factors, SW Slovakia. |

| Krno I; Bulánková E; Halgoš J; | Present Condition of Water Cleanness in the River Váh (Lisková - Ľubochňa) in the Vicinity of Ružomberok | 63-68 | |
| Abstract: The condition of
water cleanness on 4 profiles of the river Váh was evaluated based
upon two samplings taken in April and May 1991. We obtained in total
36 taxa of macrozoobenthos the most interesting findings of which
are following ones: Dugesia gonocephala, Gammarus balcanicus,
Ecdyonurus macani, Ephemerella mucronata, Brachyptera risi,
Amphinemura sulcicollis, Protonemura intricata, Leuctra hippopus,
Isoperla gramatica, Perlodes microcephala, Dinocras cephalotes, Silo
piceus, Odagmia argyreata. These taxa indicate considerable
improvement in cleann~ss of the river Váh. It is one of the sporadic
casses of water quality improvement of large Slovak rivers during
the last period. Key words: Macrozoobenthos, water cleanness, Váh river, Slovakia |

| Krumpál M; Babjaková A; Cyprich D; | Occurrence and Seasonal Dynamics of Invertebrates in Nests of the Sand Martin - Riparia riparia (L.1758) in Slovakia | 69-84 | |
| Abstract: In a total of 29 725
specimens of invertebrates obtained from 350 nests of Riparia
riparia in 20 localities of Slovakia, the dominant groups were imaga
Siphonaptera, larvae Siphonaptera, Ixodidae, Collembola, Coleoptera
and larvae of Insecta. The highest frequency was noted in
Coleoptera; imaga Siphonaptera, larvae Insecta and Collembola. The
seasonal dynamics in the groups followed was affected by the number
of generations, migrating abilities and adjustment to trophic and
cryptoclimatic conditions in the nests. Key words: Nest Arthropoda, Riparia riparia, Slovakia |

| Abstract: A representant of
family Ptilodactylidae which does not occur in central Europe was
found on the area of Slovakia (Bratislava). Species of this family
occur in the eastern part of Paleartctic region, in Nearctic and
Neotropic region. The found individual Ptilodactyla sp. was probably
dragged to the area of Slovakia by soil or wood. Key words: Coleoptera, Ptilodactyla sp., Slovakia |

| Abstract: With data gathered
from 64 localities it was ascertained that in the area of greater
Bratislava (360 kín2) there love 17 species of small mammals (see
table 1). From that number in wooded high ground and flood plain on
the refuges there live 17 species, in fields meadows and hedges on
the eastern edge of greater Bratislava there live 13 species, or in
the boardes and suburbs and wastland areas there live 9 species, and
