Monitoring the protected entomofauna of Rar?u – Giumal?u Mountains with notes regarding the distribution and habitat of some rare species (preliminary studies)

摘要

The present study brings a modest contribution to the knowledge of the protected entomofauna of Rar?u – Giumal?u Mountains, adding new data regarding the distribution, habitat and population size of a few protected species belonging to different taxonomic groups. The main investigated species are: Carabus variolosus, Pholidoptera transsylvanica and Rosalia alpina, this species were observed and collected with various methods (field observations, pitfall traps, pan traps, sticky traps, sweep net etc.) from different locations. We also refer to the distribution and habitat of some rare species, as an example: Omyomymar andriescui, species discovered few years ago in the Rar?u and Ceahl?u Mountains. Also we discuss the negative impact of the human activities on these mountains. In conclusion, the state of the entomofauna showed that an appropriate management plan is needed for the conservation of the rare species of the region
