M. Holecova, CROWN WEEVIL STRATOCOENOSES (COLEOPTERA, CURCULIONIDAE) ON HAZEL (CORYLUS-AVELLANA L) AND THEIR SEASONAL DYNAMICS, BIOLOGIA, 48(2), 1993, pp. 203-209
The author focuses on dynamics of the weevil stratocoenoses in crowns
of Corylus avellana L. This woody plant often grows solitarily or in s
mall groups on mesophilic meadows with predominatnt plant communities
of the alliance Arrhenatherion eladoris (Br-.Bl. 1925) W. KOCH 1926 or
forms ecotonal plant communities. The investigation were undertaken i
n Little Carpathians (SW Slovakia) on three study areas over three veg
etation periods. The species composition, abundance dynamics, species
number, alpha-diversity and seasonal changes in the representation of
the topic and trophic groups of weevil adults have been investigated.
