WINKLER D. – KORDA M. – TRASER GY. (2011): Two new species of Collembola for the fauna
of Hungary. Opuscula Zoologica 42(2): 199-206.
Abstract – Two Collembola species are recorded as new for the fauna of Hungary. Tetracanthella
pericarpatica Kaprus & Tsalan, 2009 (Isotomidae), previously known only from the
Transcarpathian Lowland and Roztochchia Hill (Ukraine), was collected in a oak-ash-elm
lowland forest in Western Hungary. Some corrections and additions to the original description
are given. The xerophilous species Xenylla uniseta Da Gama, 1963 (Hypogastruridae),
found mostly in Mediterranean countries, was collected in meadow steppe habitats near
Budapest. An updated description is provided with emphasis on the fi rst instar.

Abstract – Avian assemblages are determined, to a degree, by vegetation and forest structure.
The consecutive phases of forest succession might provide habitats of diff erent structure
and often diff erent plant species composition. These progressional changes can cause
signifi cant changes in the associated bird communities. The relationship between breeding
bird communities and diff erent phases of secondary succession of primary deciduous
forests (sessile oak) and secondary coniferous forests (spruce plantation) in the Sopron
Mountains was studied. Bird surveys have been carried out in 5 diff erent successional stages
using the double-visit fi xed-radius point count method.
To determine the relationship between habitat structure and breeding bird communities
principal component analysis followed by multiple linear regression analysis were carried
out. A total of 41 bird species were encountered. There are typical bird communities to order
to diff erent stages of forest succession, containing unique bird species or species appearing
predominantly in that successional stage. The study has shown structural changes
in breeding bird communities during the succession. Bird species richness, density and
diversity showed the same trends. Their numerical values were the lowest in the clear-cut
areas with young (1-2 year old) plantations, and the highest in the mature stands. After a
starting increase (shrub stage) there is a slight decline (10-12 year old stands) because of
the canopy closure of the young trees. Further decrease can be observed in the low pole
stands, as these habitats are no longer appropriate for species nesting in shrubs and not yet
suitable for the hole-nesting ones. Species richness, density and diversity were lower in the
early pole and older spruce stands than in the corresponding oak stands. The research has
been supported by TAMOP 4.2.1. program.
