Structure and function of weevil assemblages (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) in epigeon of oak-hornbeam forests in SW Slovakia

Original language description

In 1999-2002, we studied the weevil assemblages in the epigeon of oak-hornbeam forests in SW Slovakia. The investigation has been done on 10 study plots in the Malé Karpaty Mts. and Trnavská pahorkatina hills. Altogether 4,089 individuals of weevils classified into 78 species, 43 genera and 4 families were recorded. The number of species found at the particular sites ranged from 22 to 31 species. Geophilous species Ceutorhynchus pallidactylus, geobionts Acalles fallax, Barypeithes chevrolati, Barypeithes mollicomus, Brachysomus hirtus, Trachodes hispidus and geoxenes Ceutorhynchus obstrictus and Sitona macularius predominated in the material from the oak-hornbeam forest epigeon. The canopy architecture and content of exchange bases in the leaf litter from amongst 13 gradient and 2 categorial variables analysed had direct and significant influence on the structure of epigeic weevil assemblages.
