Agromyzidae) in the Gemer area (Slovakia) is presented with a critical synopsis of previously published data and new records obtained from the Muránska planina National Park and the Cerová vrchovina Protected Landscape Area. The study includes the families Clusiidae (10 species), Acartophthalmidae (2), Opomyzidae (12), Anthomyzidae (14), Aulacigastridae (3), Stenomicridae (2), Periscelididae (5), Asteiidae (7) and Odiniidae (8). For each recorded species remarks on general distribution, biology, faunistic and/or nature conservation importance are provided. Four species, viz. Aulacigaster falcata Papp, 1998 (Aulacigastridae), Periscelis ( Myodris ) haennii Pollini Paltrinieri & Roháček, 2022 (Periscelididae), Neoalticomerus fabricius Withers & Papp, 2012 and Odinia photophila Papp, 1977 (second known specimen) (both Odiniidae), are recorded from Slovakia for the first time, and 14 other species are new additions to the fauna of the Gemer area, viz. Geomyza acutipennis Czerny, 1928, G. balachowskyi Mesnil, 1934, G. breviseta Czerny, 1928 and G. subnigra Drake, 1992 (Opomyzidae), Anagnota bicolor (Meigen, 1838), Anthomyza collini Andersson, 1976 and Stiphrosoma cingulatum (Haliday, 1855) (Anthomyzidae), Periscelis ( Periscelis ) annulipes Loew, 1858 (Periscelididae), Asteia elegantula Zetterstedt, 1847 and Leiomyza birkheadi Gibbs, 2007 (Asteiidae), Neoalticomerus formosus (Loew, 1844), Odinia czernyi Collin, 1952, O. meijerei Collin, 1952 and O. trinotata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Odiniidae). First records of Neoalticomerus fabricius are also given from Germany, Poland and Czech Republic. Except for the above new faunal records, also the following species are considered interesting and important in the Gemer area because of their rarity or significance from the nature conservation point of view: Clusiodes gentilis (Collin, 1912) (Clusiidae), Stiphrosoma humerale Roháček & Barber, 2005 (Anthomyzidae), Podocera soniae (Merz & Roháček, 2005) (Stenomicridae), Periscelis ( P. ) laszloi Roháček, 2022 and P. ( P. ) winnertzii Egger, 1862 (Periscelididae). Diagnostic characters of some species of Odiniidae are emphasized and illustrated.","PeriodicalId":208303,"journal":{"name":"Acta Musei Silesiae: Scientiae Naturales","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135762964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Population expansion of some bird species in the city of Wrocław","authors":"Kopij Grzegorz","doi":"10.1515/cszma-2016-0029","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/cszma-2016-0029","url":null,"abstract":"During the years 2002-2010, distribution and numbers of eight bird species were studied in the whole city of Wrocław, SW Poland (293 km). The estimation for these species are as follow: Streptopelia turtur: 3 breeding pairs, Upupa epops: 1, Cuculus canorus: 49, Emberiza hortulana: 7, Luscinia megarhynchos: 214-286, Phoenicurus phoenicurus: 87-118, Turdus pilaris: 105-150, Hippolais icterina: 136-181. In comparison with 1980’s and 1990’s, a rapid increase in the numbers P. phoenicurus, and T. pilaris, and a slight increase of L. megarhynchos and Cuculus canorus were documented. T. pilaris began to breed in the city in the end of 1990’s. The increase may indicate that the habitats in Wrocław improved both in regard to food availability, nesting sites and other environmental requisitions. The increase in the numbers recorded for C. canorus, P. phoe-nicurus, and L. megarhynchos may also be a result of good conditions prevailing in their wintering grounds in sub-Saharan Africa.","PeriodicalId":208303,"journal":{"name":"Acta Musei Silesiae: Scientiae Naturales","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121510913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
