First data on CaddisFlY (inseCta, triChoPtera) Fauna oF Peatlands in Croatia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peatlands in Croatia are rare, small in size and isolated habitats. Due to the abandonment of traditional land-management practices, and particularly to the progressive vegetation succession, they are critically endangered. Caddisfl y faunistics and ecology of peatlands in Croatia have never been studied. A total of seven caddisfl y taxa were collected in this study at three diff erent peatlands; Dubravica bog, Đon močvar bog and Jarak fen. The collection of Adicella reducta (McLachlan, 1865) represents a new record for the Croatian caddisfl y fauna. Additionally, two tyrphophilous species, Hagenella clathrata (Kolenati, 1848) and Rhadicoleptus alpestris (Kolenati, 1848), were recorded for the fi rst time in Croatia since an imprecise literature record from 1935 and two previous fi ndings (from 1929 and 1997), respectively. Caddisfl y larvae were also collected in two peatlands, belonging to the genera Beraea Stephens, 1836 and Ernodes Wallengren, 1891, which are oft en collected at peatbogs in larval stages.

Until recently the caddisfly fauna of Kosovo was poorly known, with only several records. During a two-year period of investigation (2009–2010) adult caddisflies were collected with ultraviolet light, aerial net and hand picking. The genus Micropterna Stein, 1873 is reported for the first time in Kosovo with four species: Micropterna caesareica Schmid, 1959, Micropterna fissa McLachlan, 1875, M...

متن کاملThe First Mitochondrial Genome for Caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) with Phylogenetic Implications
The Trichoptera (caddisflies) is a holometabolous insect order with 14,300 described species forming the second most species-rich monophyletic group of animals in freshwater. Hitherto, there is no mitochondrial genome reported of this order. Herein, we describe the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of a caddisfly species, Eubasilissa regina (McLachlan, 1871). A phylogenomic analysis was carrie...

We describe a new autumnal caddisfly species Chaetopteryx bucari sp. n. from 8 localities in the Banovina region of Croatia. We also present molecular, taxonomic and ecological notes (emergence, sex ratio and seasonal dynamics) on the new species and discuss the distribution of Chaetopteryx species in general and the Chaetopteryx rugulosa group in particular. Based on Bayesian phylogenetic anal...
