Abstract

The survey has been realized in the lowland relict forest Bosco delle Sorti della Partecipanza, a site situated in Trino (Piedmont, North-Western Italy), to assess the ecological conservation level of forest habitats using the Syrph the Net methodology. 67 species were recorded, using three Malaise traps, seven Emergence traps and several Net transect in the year 2020. Among these species, 6 are reported for the first time in Piedmont region, 19 are considered decreasing at European level and 2 are threatened in Europe. Forest habitats under scrutiny in the study area are oak-hornbeam mesophilic woodland and alluvial alder lowland. The data analysis allowed to compare observed with expected syrphids for each habitat. At the ecosystem level, the ecological integrity of the forest is moderately negative but the alluvial alder forest macrohabitat can be considered good and overall saproxylic and saprophagous species are particularly well-preserved. The presence of a high number of rare or decreasing species makes Trino wood an important source of biodiversity in Po Plain.

特里诺(意大利西北部)低宗教森林的生态评估“参与命运的森林”，应用Diptera Syrphidae作为生物指标

该调查是在位于特里诺(意大利西北部皮埃蒙特)的低地废弃森林Bosco delle Sorti della Partecipanza进行的，目的是使用syph The Net方法评估森林栖息地的生态保护水平。2020年共采用3个诱虫器、7个诱虫器和若干Net样带，记录了67种昆虫。其中6种在皮埃蒙特地区首次发现，19种被认为在欧洲水平上正在减少，2种在欧洲受到威胁。研究区内的森林生境为中温栎-角梁林地和冲积桤木低地。数据分析允许比较每个栖息地的观察到的和预期的蚜虫。在生态系统水平上，森林的生态完整性为中度负，但冲积桤木林的大生境可以认为是良好的，整体腐生和腐生物种保存特别完好。大量稀有或减少物种的存在使特诺木成为波河平原生物多样性的重要来源。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research (JEAR), formerly the Bollettino di Zoologia Agraria e di Bachicoltura of the Institute of Entomology of the Università degli Studi, Milano, was founded in 1928 by Remo Grandori. Thereafter, Minos Martelli and Luciano Süss hold the direction of the Journal until December 2011. In January 2012 the Editor decided for the new open-access on-line version of JEAR. The Journal publishes original research papers concerning Arthopods, but reviews, editorials, technical reports, brief notes, conference proceeding, letters to the Editor, book reviews are also welcome. JEAR has four main areas of interest: -Entomology (systematics; morphology; biology; biotechnology; agriculture, ornamental and forest entomology; applied entomology; integrated pest management; biological control; apiculture and apidology; medical, urban and veterinary entomology; etc.) -Stored product pests (biology; integrated pest management; etc.) -Insect Ecology (behaviour; biodiversity; taxonomy; plant insect interaction and ecosystems; biological control; alien species; etc.) -Acarology (systematics; morphology; biology; parasitology; control; etc.) The publication of manuscripts is subject to the approval of the Section Editor who has knowledge of the field discussed in the manuscript in accordance with the principles of Peer Review; referees will be selected from the Editorial Board or among qualified scientists of the international scientific community. Articles must be written in English and must adhere to the guidelines and details contained in the Instructions to Authors.
