Coleopteran fauna of the Valašsko (Moravian Wallachia or Vallachia) region (eastern Moravia) can be considered as little known. Records of 81 beetle species representing 28 families remarcable for the region collected during the years 1992 to 2010 are presented in this paper. The most important recorded species from the faunistic viewpoint are: Carabus sylvestris sylvestris (Carabidae), Quedius truncicola (Staphylinidae), Ampedus elegantulus (Elateridae), Ampedus tristis (Elateridae), Denticollis interpositus (Elateridae), Ischnodes sanquinicollis (Elateridae), Derodontus macularis (Elateridae), Mycetoma suturale (Tetratomidae), Sphaeriestes aeratus...

Acta Carp. Occ. 1: 13-18, 2010 | DOI: 10.62317/aco.2010.002  

Water beetle fauna of the meadow spring with tufa formation in the Březnice near Zlín Site of European Importance (SEI) was investigated. In total, 35 species of water beetles (2 spp. of Haliplidae, 13 spp. of Dytiscidae, 3 spp. of Helophoridae, 13 spp. of Hydrophilidae, and 4 spp. of Hydraenidae) were recorded. Euryecious and detritophilous species prevail in the species spectrum, but crenophilous, potamal, rhitral and semiaquatic species are also considerably represented which is congruent with the habitat type. Habitat preference of the water scavenger beetle Enochrus fuscipennis is discussed, the occurrence of the diving beetle Hydroporus pubescens...

The main research method was a light sampling. During five years of intensive searching in field (2005-2009) we registered 416 moth species from the group of Macrolepidoptera. Amount of them we recorded many localy rare and endangered species (e.g. Isturgia arenacearia, Apeira syringaria, Charissa obscurata, Idaea laevigata, Lythria cruentaria, Thera vetustata, Eupithecia venosata, E. veratraria, E. selinata, Acasis viretata, Eublemma purpurinum, Abrostola asclepiadis, Diachrysia chryson,...

The influence of the altitude on changes of reproduction activity and potential in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)

Ivan Baláž

Acta Carp. Occ. 1: 53-61, 2010 | DOI: 10.62317/aco.2010.005  

The article deals with the influence of altitude on changes of reproduction activity and potential in the bank vole Myodes glareolus (Rodentia: Arvicolidae). The average testes size (length) of males increased from March to June and then slowly decreased (in hilly landscape). Only those males caught in June were used for testing the influence of altitude on testes length. Negative correlation was found between the testes length and altitude; decrease of testes length from lowland to higher mountain zone was 15.7%. The most intensive reproduction activity was recorded in August and gradually declined till December in both sexes. Number of embryos in...

Acta Carp. Occ. 1: 62-68, 2010 | DOI: 10.62317/aco.2010.006  

During the years 2008 and 2009 altogether 12 species of small mammals were registered within six localities in water dam Bešeňová surrounding. The most abundant species was Myodes glareolus, which was registered in all localities. Besides the bank vole, as eudominant species were characterized Apodemus flavicollis, Microtus arvalis and Sorex araneus. On the other hand, species Sorex alpinus, Sorex minutus, Neomys fodiens and Crocidura suaveolens were registered only once.

Nutrition value of local varieties of apple trees typical of the White Carpathians region

Acta Carp. Occ. 1: 69-73, 2010 | DOI: 10.62317/aco.2010.007  

Local varieties of apple trees are typical of the White Carpathians region. They can exceed common comercially grown varieties in many nutritional values. The aim of this contribution was to monitor the content of some significant nutritional components - dry matter, vitamin C, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium and to compare the values of their content with the commercially grown varieties of 'Golden Delicious', 'Spartan' and 'Rubín'. Altogether 18 local varieties of apple trees were chosen. High nutritional values were found in, for example, 'Panenské české' variety or 'Jadernička moravská' which is one of the most typical of the White...
