20.500.12556/DiRROS-19714 Cucujus cinnaberinus (Scopoli, 1763) at its terra typica in Slovenia historical overview, distribution patterns and habitat selection The saproxylic beetle, Cucujus cinnaberinus, has received increasing research attention in Europe since the adoption of the Habitats Directive and establishment of the Natura 2000 network. The history of the species has been investigated as well as the influence of abiotic and biotic variables on the distribution of C. cinnaberinus in Slovenia which is at the limit of its range and also terra typica for the species. The species was first described in 1763 by Joannes A. Scopoli in Carniola, a duchy of the Habsburg Monarchy. Today, most of the territory of Carniola is situated within Slovenia. C. cinnaberinus is particularly common in the eastern part of the country, but very scarce in the mountainous western part. According to historical and recent distribution patterns of C. cinnaberinus in the former Carniolan territory, the region of Ribnica-Kočevje in southern Slovenia is proposed as the most probable type locality of the species. Although the bulk of the C. cinnaberinus population in Slovenia is confined to the lowlands, the species has been found up to 1095 m a.s.l., albeit at a much lower abundance due to the influence of climate and forest structure. Although C. cinnaberinus is a quite an opportunistic species regarding host tree selection, it has been shown to exhibit a preference for Tilia, Populus and Robinia. It is suspected that the high abundance of C. cinnaberinus in lowland floodplain forests is due to the recent human-induced increase in preferred fast-growing and short-lived host trees, i.e. the planting of poplar trees and spread of invasive Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) after the 1960s. In contrast, in montane forests, preferred host trees (e.g. Tilia) represent < 1 % of all growing stock. Although montane C. cinnaberinus populations are rare, they could still be important for the conservation of the species, since montane habitats cover the largest area within the species’ distribution range. saproxylic beetle Natura 2000 type locality Carniola altitudinal distribution host tree selection macrohabitat large-scale survey true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2024-07-24 03:46:54 2024-07-24 15:52:03 2024-07-25 04:14:58 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2017 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 3. 8. 2017; str. 191-217 Vol. 19 2017 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2017-07-31 595.76 1314-3301 10.3897/natureconservation.19.12645 4387919 http://www.pensoft.net/journals/natureconservation 1 ee2ee3c9-494d-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27236 RAZ_Vrezec_Al_2017.pdf RAZ_Vrezec_Al_2017.pdf 1 B9E0BCC8322F434B7DE316CB49C45514 c87e848eaadf233a994b5819cbf42ca3f745023172b90d280b73489ad3fb4162 a3b350c1-49b3-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27397 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
