In this contribution, we present the first records of species from the families Cecidomyiidae, Keroplatidae, Mycetophilidae, and Sciaridae from Slovakia. A total of 45 species were identified, of which 44 species are new to Slovakia—29 in Cecidomyiidae, 3 in Keroplatidae, 8 in Mycetophilidae, and 4 in Sciaridae.

New records of Cecidomyiidae and other Sciaroidea (Diptera) from Slovakia

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

This study summarizes 17-year results of teriological research of small mammal fauna in Košice Zoo (near the village of Kavečany, 48°47’10.04”N, 21°12’3.26”E, 380 – 420 m a.s.l.). The small mammals evaluated in this study were obtained by trapping in three periods (1992 – 1994, 2000 – 2001, 2003 – 2004) and were the results of three diploma theses. In total, 688 small mammals belonging to 13 species of four families Soricidae, Gliridae, Cricetidae and Muridae were recorded by trapping during the study period. Rodents significantly dominated with 8 species, 583 ex. (84.7%) compared to insectivores represented by 5 species, 105 ex. (15.3%). A gradual diversity decline of small mammal fauna was recorded, with only four mammal species confirmed in 2003 – 2004. This marked difference over the last 17 years was probably the result of anthropic modifications of the Zoo area, mainly the cutting of trees and shrubs of the alluvium, technical modifications of the streambeds as well as the deratization of the building areas and animal enclosures. The assemblage’s structure of captured small mammals could also be influenced by other factors, such as the predominant type of traps used, or the number of exposed traps in the vegetation and non-vegetation periods of the year. The obtained results are also a suitable basis and source of information for comprehensive and long-term monitoring in this area, given the epidemiological importance of this group of animals and the possibility of contact with exotic animals.

Temporal changes in small mammal (Eulipotyphla, Rodentia) assemblages in Košice Zoo (Slovakia)

Based on the published findings (Koštejnová 2013, Slezáková 2014, Gajdošík 2020), unpublished data from museum specimens (2005 – 2013), and data from field surveys (2005 – 2023), a total of 13 bat species were recorded in the urban area of Ostrava in North Moravia. Common species in the area included <italic>Pipistrellus pipistrellus</italic>, <italic>Nyctalus noctula, Eptesicus serotinus</italic>, <italic>Myotis daubentonii</italic>, and <italic>Vespertilio murinus</italic>. <italic>P. pipistrellus</italic> was eudominant species (D = 74.41), followed by <italic>N. noctula</italic> (D = 11.41). <italic>E. serotinus</italic> was a subdominant species (D = 4.59), followed by <italic>M. daubentonii</italic> (D = 3.77) and <italic>V. murinus</italic> (D = 2.45). The occurrence of <italic>M. mystacinus/brandtii</italic> was recendent (D = 1.33), and the occurrence of <italic>M. nattereri</italic> (D = 0.51), <italic>E. nilssonii</italic> (D = 0.51), <italic>P. pygmaeus</italic> (D = 0.31), <italic>Plecotus auritus/austriacus</italic> (D = 0.31), <italic>Pipistrellus nathusii</italic> (D = 0.20), <italic>N. leisleri</italic> (D = 0.10), <italic>M. myotis</italic> (D = 0.10) and <italic>M. brandtii</italic> (D = 0.10) were subrecendent. In the summer season, eudominant species were <italic>P. pipistrellus</italic> (D = 76.84), followed by the <italic>N. noctula</italic> (D = 10.63), subdominant <italic>E. serotinus</italic> (D = 4.74), and <italic>M. daubentonii</italic> (D = 3.89), with <italic>M. mystacinus/brandtii</italic> being recendent (D = 1.37). In the winter season, eudominant species were <italic>V. murinus</italic> (D = 62.50), followed by the <italic>N. noctula</italic> (D = 34.38) and subdominant <italic>P. nathusii</italic> (D = 3.13). However, the species composition inside and outside buildings differed significantly. In the summer season, eudominant species inside buildings was <italic>P. pipistrellus</italic> (D = 99.57), followed by the subrecendent species <italic>V. murinus</italic> (D = 0.29) and <italic>M. daubentonii</italic> (D = 0.14). Outside buildings, <italic>N. noctula</italic> (D = 40.16) were eudominant, followed by <italic>E. serotinus</italic> (D = 17.72), <italic>P. pipistrellus</italic> (D = 14.17), and <italic>M. daubentonii</italic> (D = 14.17), with <italic>M. mystacinus/brandtii</italic> (D = 5.12) was dominant, and <italic>M. nattereri</italic> (D = 1.97), <italic>E. nilssonii</italic> (D = 1.97), <italic>P. pygmaeus</italic> (D = 1.18), and <italic>P. auritus/austriacus</italic> (D = 1.18) were recendent species. In the winter season, eudominant species inside buildings were <italic>V. murinus</italic> (D = 68.75), followed by <italic>N. noctula</italic> (D = 25.00), and the situation was very similar outside the buildings during this period, with eudominant <italic>V. murinus</italic> (D = 56.25) and <italic>N. noctula</italic> (D = 43.75). Two roosts of the maternity colonies <italic>P. pipistrellus</italic> were recorded in city buildings: in Výškovice, Lumírova 10, in a expansion joint near the balcony on the top floor of a panel residential building; and in Zábřeh, Plzeňská 2617/4 and Plzeňská 2617/6, in expansion joints on the top floors of an old panel building used as a hostel and apartment building.

Bats of the Ostrava city and their synantropization

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

The study is focused on the distribution of the critically endangered <italic>Lopinga achine</italic> in the Hlučín region, near the border to Poland. <italic>Lopinga achine</italic> has been considered extinct there since the early 1970s. The paper provides data on the current distribution at several new localities in the vicinity of Vřesina near Opava, Píšt, Hať and Děhylov (Silesia). The population of <italic>L. achine</italic> is not abundant in the Hlučín region. Host plant of the larvae is the sedge <italic>Carex brizoides</italic>, which makes it different from most other European populations. Currently, two isolated populations of <italic>L. achine</italic> survive in the Czech Republic (i.e. populations in Silesia and southeastern Moravia). Both the populations are threatened with extinction due to changes in forest management.

Central European mountains are important diversity centers of the genus <italic>Hieracium</italic>. Here, we provide an account of the genus in supramontane to subalpine zones of summit parts of Mt. Králický Sněžník, based on a detailed field inventory in 2021 and 2022. Ten species were recorded (<italic>H. chrysostyloides, H. moravicum, H. nigritum, H. nivimontis, H. obscuratum, H. schustleri, H. stygium, H. uechtritzianum, H. murorum, H. lachenalii</italic>), of which two (<italic>H. moravicum</italic> a <italic>H. obscuratum</italic>) were found here for the first time. New data about their ecology and habitat requirements are given and causes of their threat are discussed. The study also contains a summary of historical data relating to the locality.
