In the periods of 1979-1981 and 1992-1994 the structure of weevil comm
unities occurring: on four wild rosaceous woody plants (Crataegus mono
gyna, Pyrus communis, Prunus spinosa and Rosa spp.) was studied in the
Little Carpathians and Podunajska nizina lowland. Altogether we recor
ded occurrence of 97 species belonging to 34 genera. The stratocoenose
s on hawthorns exhibited the highest species number (70 species of 22
general and alpha-diversity. The communities on black thorn consisted
of 44 weevil species of 19 genera and exhibited the lowest alpha-diver
sity. On wild roses we recorded 41 species of 21 genera and on wild pe
ar-trees 37 species of 16 genera, respectively.
