shelterbelts and grassy embankments in the area of the Lajta Project. A total of 62 species
were collected during the eleven-year study period (2002-2012). Collembola species richness,
abundance and diversity were the highest in shelterbelts, which shows their ecological
role in agricultural environments. Grassy embankments are further important ecotone
habitats that play signifi cant role in soil fauna diversity and abundance. Intensively managed
monocultures (maize, summer rape and winter wheat) were characterized by Collembola
communities with low species richness and abundance.

Abstratct – This paper presents the results of a comparativeornithological study conducted
in the area of the LAJTA Project to determine songbird species richness, density and diversity
in various open agricultural habitats including intensively managedmonocultures as
well as fallow habitats and edge ecotones. In total 11 passerine bird species were recorded.
Species richness and total density were relatively high on the grass fallow sites and grassy
edges. Bird community diversity was the highest in fallow habitats while its values were
extremely lowin intensively managed monocultures. Two key farmland songbird species,
the skylark (Alauda arvensis) and the corn bunting (Emberiza calandra), showing declines
in many West European countries, were found with high density in almost every habitat
studied.

from Hungary. Opuscula Zoologica 43(1): 89-95.
Abstract – Two species, Pseudosinella bohemica Rusek, 1979 and Folsomides marchicus
(Frenzel, 1941) are recorded from Hungary, the latter species for the fi rst time. An illustrated
morphological description of the two species is presented.

serbicus group (Collembola, Entomobryidae), with description of new species from
Hungary. Zootaxa 3394: 35-47. (IF: 0,927)
Abstract – The Lepidocyrtus pallidus-serbicus group has been created for the two eponymic
species only, but at the present time the group is composed by a total of 6 species: L. pallidus
Reuter, 1890; L. serbicus Denis, 1933; L. pseudosinelloides Gisin, 1967; L. weidneri Hüther,
1971; L. arrabonicus Traser 2000 and L. tomosvaryi sp. nov. The main characteristic shared
by every species in this group is the dorsal body macrochaetotaxy: 00/0101+2 and the presence
of M1M2 on the labial triangle. The new species is close to L. serbicus but clearly differs
from it in the presence of a small dental tubercle at the basal part of the dens on the
dorsal surface. An identifi cation key is given for diff erentiating all species of this group.

Abstract – The LAJTA Project covered 3065 ha. Within this area crop cultivation is dominant.
Fields are separated from each other by forest belts and tree rows, extending altogether
over roughly 120 ha. This habitat structure characterized by cultivation of 12-15 fi eld
crops was able to keep partridge population with densities of 1.75 birds/km 2 (1991). The
Project started in 1991/1992 and set the aim to achieve increments of carrying capacity for
