Distribution of the (semi-)natural habitats in Hungary II. Woodlands and shrublands

Landscape and habitat filters are major drivers of biodiversity of small habitat islands by influencing dispersal and extinction events in plant metapopulations. We assessed the effects of landscape and habitat filters on the species richness, abundance and trait composition of grassland specialist and generalist plants in small habitat islands. We studied traits related to functional spatial connectivity (dispersal ability by wind and animals) and temporal connectivity (clonality and seed bank persistence) using model selection. We sampled herbaceous plants, landscape (local and regional isolation) and habitat filters (inclination, woody encroachment and disturbance) in 82 grassland islands in Hungary. Isolation decreased the abundance of good disperser specialist plants due to the lack of directional vectors transferring seeds between suitable habitat patches. Clonality was an effective strategy, but persistent seed bank did not support the survival of specialist plants in isolated habitats. Generalist plants were unaffected by landscape filters due to their wide habitat breadth and high propagule availability. Clonal specialist plants could cope with increasing woody encroachment due to their high resistance against environmental changes; however, they could not cope with intensive disturbance. Steep slopes providing environmental heterogeneity had an overall positive effect on species richness. Specialist plants were influenced by the interplay of landscape filters influencing their abundance and habitat filters affecting species richness. Landscape filtering by isolation influenced the abundance of specialist plants by regulating seed dispersal. Habitat filters sorted species that could establish and persist at a site by influencing microsite availability and quality.

Landscape and habitat filters jointly drive richness and abundance of specialist plants in terrestrial habitat islands

Actual distribution maps of vegetation types are important data sources of basic and applied research, respectively. Though there were several attempts to map the actual vegetation of Hungary, the META program was the first to map all the (semi-)natural habitat types on the whole territory of Hungary. The paper discusses the habitats with treeless vegetation. 45 habitats are presented and discussed. The paper provides additional data on the area and distribution of the habitats mainly at the physical geographical macroregion scale.

The first version of the map of the Hungarian vegetation-based landscape regions were prepared at the scale of 1: 200,000 (1 km or higher resolution). The primary goal of the map was to provide an exact background for the presentation and evaluation of the data of the META database. Secondly, we intended to give an up-to-date and detailed vegetation-based division of Hungary with a comprehensive nomenclature of the regions. Regions were primarily defined on the basis of their present zonal vegetation, or their dominant extrazonal or edaphic vegetation. Where this was not possible, abiotic factors that influence the potential vegetation, the flora were taken into consideration, thus, political and economical factors were ignored. All region borders were defined by local expert botanists, mainly based on their field knowledge. The map differs in many features from the currently used, country-wide, flora-or geography-based divisions in many features. We consider our map to be temporary (i.e. a work map), and...

New and rare weevils in Hungary II. (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)

Otiorhynchus roznerantii Szénási sp. nov. from Greece and Republic of North Macedonia, and O. pseudoschlaeflini Szénási sp. nov. from Greece are described in the subgenus Anchorrhynchus Reitter, 1914. A provisional identification key to species of Anchorrhynchus is included, from which are excluded Otiorhynchus lumensis gjallicanus Lona, 1939, O. lumensis lumensis Apfelbeck, 1908, O. munelensis Apfelbeck, 1907 and O. pseudalbanicus Braun, 1990 which are here moved to Otiorhynchus incertae sedis, plus O. cypricola Reiche & Saulcy, 1858 specimens of which were unavailable.

Two new species of Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 of the subgenus Anchorrhynchus Reitter, 1914 from the Balkan Peninsula, with a key to species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae).

Three new and some rare weevils in Hungary (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Eusphyrus vasconicus (A. Hoffmann et Tempère, 1954), a fungus weevil species
(Coleoptera: Anthribidae), is reported from Hungary for the first time. Recent records of Mogulones
albolineatus (J. Frivaldszky, 1878), Otiorhynchus aurifer Boheman, 1842, Ranunculiphilus italicus
(C. N. F. Brisout de Barneville, 1869), Rhinusa rara Toševski et Caldara, 2015, and Stenocarus
ruficornis (Stephens, 1831) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are also presented.
