Taxonomic and biogeographically-ecological studies on the insect fauna

摘要

The topic of taxonomic and biogeographically-ecological studies is presented in the case of social wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Vespinae et Polistinae) of the Balkan Peninsula and the neighboring regions, as an intentionally prepared summary of the author's Ph.D. thesis (?ETKOVI?, 2002). The broader context of this category of studies under local conditions, as well as topical and spatial frame of the studies, and the summary of the most important results of the analysis, are briefly presented in this paper.
