    Abstract The mining bee (Andrena spp.) play a key role in ensuring plant and animal diversity. The present study examines their diversity in a post-agricultural landscape exemplified by the Kampinos National Park (KNP), a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Poland. The following hypotheses were addressed: (H1) the mining bees demonstrate a narrow ecological amplitude, (H2) there are no indicator species for particular habitats, and (H3) the studied mining bees have the same ecological preferences to those presented in the literature. A total of 40 catch per unit effort samples (CPUE) were collected across various habitats with different soil humidity. Forty-six species were recorded, representing 46% of mining bees and approximately 10% of the known Polish bee fauna. Nineteen of the recorded species (41%) were assigned to CR-NT threat categories, indicating that the national park plays a significant role in preserving mining bee species diversity and their conservation. None of the hypotheses (H1, H2, H3) were confirmed. The mining bees were found to demonstrate a wide ecological amplitude. Surprisingly, habitats located in dry and wet soils were both characterised by high abundance and species richness. Seventeen indicators were distinguished among the dominant and rarer species. Our findings suggest that Andrena nigroaenea and A. ventralis (lower humidity), as well as A. alfkenella and A. minutuloides (higher humidity), have different significant relationships with habitat soil humidity to those reported in the literature.

    Abstract AbstractInvasive plants directly and indirectly disrupt the ecosystem functioning, of which indirect effects, for example, through trophic cascades, are particularly difficult to predict. It is frequently assumed that the impact of an invading species on the ecosystem is proportional (linearly related) to its density or abundance in a habitat, but this assumption has rarely been tested. We hypothesised that abundance and richness of plants and potentially pollinators of wet meadows change as a result of invasion of steeplebush Spiraea tomentosa and that these changes are proportional to the density of the shrub. We selected 27 sites amongst wet meadows habitats invaded by S. tomentosa with coverage ranging from 0% to 100% and examined the diversity of plants, as well as the abundance and diversity of flower visitors (bees, butterflies with moths and flies). Our results showed that the richness of plants, as well as the richness and number of individuals of flower visitors, decrease significantly and linearly with an increase of the S. tomentosa cover. This finding supports the hypothesis that the impact of an invasive species can be proportional to their population density, especially if this species is limiting the available resources without supplying others. Our study is the first to show such an unequivocal negative, linear effect of an invasive shrub on the abundance and richness of potential pollinators. It proves that the negative impact of S. tomentosa on the wetland ecosystem appears even with a minor coverage of the invader, which should be taken into account when planning activities aimed at controlling the population of this transformer species. The simultaneously detected linear dependence allows us to assume that the benefits of controlling secondary populations of the shrub can be proportional to the incurred effort.

    Abstract Tramways in urban areas for mass transit has been suggested to have a lower environmental footprint than roads. However, studies on the impact of tramways and the surrounding infrastructure on biodiversity is extremely rare despite the potential ecological effects associated with this anthropogenic feature. Surprisingly, we found fewer than 10 papers published on tramway-wildlife interactions, which is significantly lower (vs dozens of thousands) than that of other transportation methods. As tramways and stations may be managed sustainably by planting short vegetation on the track and roofs of tramway stations, they may be good examples of land-sharing policies in green urban planning, improving both biodiversity and people's well-being. The potential environmental benefits of green practices for commercially available tramways should be strictly tested and applied, especially in the context of the growing popularity of tramway systems worldwide.

    Abstract Artykuł informuje o Stelis minima Schenck, 1859, nowym dla fauny Polski gatunku kleptopasożytniczej pszczoły z rodziny miesierkowatych (Megachilidae). Stelis minima. zamieszkuje prawdopodobnie większą część Europy, za wyjątkiem jej części południowej i północnej; najdalej na północ położone stanowiska znane są z południowej Finlandii (około 62°N).W latach 2002-2006 odłowiono 4 okazy tego gatunku, w tym 1 na Wyżynie Krakowsko-Częstochowskiej i 3 na Roztoczu. Wszystkie okazy przebywały na drewnianych budynkach, w sąsiedztwie gniazd potencjalnych gatunków żywicielskich - Chelostoma campanularum (Kirby, 1802) i Heriades truncorum (Linnaeus, 1758). Samica Stelis minima charakteryzuje się następującymi cechami morfologicznymi, które ją odróżniają od innych gatunków środkowoeuropejskich: głowa zaokrąglona, nadustek około 1,5 raza szerszy niż jego długość, nogi czarne, nadstopie tylnych nóg o niemal równoległych bokach (nie rozszerzone w końcowej części), odległości pomiędzy punktami na śródbocznych częściach tułowia mniej więcej równe ich średnicy, tylne brzegi tergitów metasomy czarne, pozbawione bocznych przepasek z włosków, pierwszy i drugi tergit zazwyczaj z małymi, żółtawo-białymi plamami położonymi po bokach (plam czasem brak). Samce Stelis minima różnią się od innych środkowoeuropejskich gatunków następującą kombinacją cech morfologicznych: nadustek krótki (żuwaczki nie są pod nim schowane), nogi czarne, odległości pomiędzy punktami na śródbocznych częściach tułowia oraz czwartym i piątym tergicie mniej więcej równe ich średnicy, tylne brzegi tergitów metasomy czarne, pozbawione bocznych przepasek z włosków, pierwszy i drugi tergit (czasem też trzeci) z małymi, żółtawo-białymi plamami położonymi po bokach, tylny brzeg trzeciego sternitu z trójkątnym obrzeżeniem pośrodku, tylny brzeg czwartego sternitu pośrodku z niewielkim wyrostkiem w kształcie ząbka.

    Abstract Habitat translocation is a method of habitat salvation conducted in cases of its inevitable destruction during construction projects. To evaluate the large-scale turf translocation of wet meadows to derelict land, with consideration of the possible impact of the surrounding area on the translocated habitat, salvaged Molinion meadows were compared to reference meadows near the donor site and to varied plots in the receptor area. The study included the soil, vegetation and selected groups of invertebrates at different motility and food levels. Pollinators (wild bees, butterflies), grasshoppers, ants and soil mesofauna, with emphasis on springtails, were counted and identified to the species level. Lower numbers of springtails and higher numbers of grasshoppers were observed in the translocated plots than in the reference plots. For springtails, the decreased soil porosity was a clear disadvantage. Mobile animals with a high food specificity responded dynamically to the habitat translocation. The translocated plots maintained their biodiversity. However, an influx of cosmopolitan species was noticeable, especially for the plants and pollinators. A few vulnerable species declined in number. The habitat translocation to derelict land was associated with a deterioration of the ecological condition of the habitat; thus, natural habitats should be preserved where they are if possible. However, in the case of their inevitable destruction, translocation is better than nothing. Revitalised areas can be a valuable spot for local pollinators, as well as for other animals, as far as their biodiversity is maintained. Caring for pollinators, which are under threat on a global scale, should be a particular concern for the safety of crops and phytocoenoses.
