30 Years of Entomological Monitoring of the Alder Carr Wetland: Phenomenon of Moths

Jaroš J., Spitzer K.

The temporal variability of moth diversity and abundance has been monitored for the last 30 years since 1981 by nightly light trapping during the growing seasons of the alder carr wetland in South Bohemia (49º00΄ N, 14º26΄ E). The moth community of identified 920 species was analysed for species richness, bionomic (selection) strategies and population dynamics. The long term monitoring data obtained are critical for predicting patterns of wetland biodiversity and conservation implementations. For the project outlines and bibliography see Terrestrial Arthropod Reviews 1(2): 155-163 (2008).
