Przyczynek do rozmieszczenia pluskwiaków różnoskrzydłych (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) w Polsce – IV

This paper continues a series of publications on the distribution of true bugs in Poland. It includes new faunistic data for 273 species of true bugs. In total, data on 33 species previously unreported in 14 zoogeographical regions of Poland are presented, including some rarely collected: Charagochilus spiralifer, Deraeocoris ventralis, Emblethis griseus, Emblethis denticollis, Liorhyssus hyalinus, Pyrrhocoris marginatus, Odontoscelis lineola, Stephanitis takeyai, Tytthus pygmaeus. Moreover, a food source, unusual for Pyrrhocoris apterus, was presented – the fresh carcass of a small rodent. It is also noteworthy that this paper was largely prepared using citizen science. Many people (non-specialists in Heterop-tera) collected data constituting almost 20% of the presented records. Notably, the true bugs recorded in this way include species very rarely collected in Poland and species alien to Polish fauna (e.g., Oxycarenus lavaterae and Halyomorpha halys). Due to the lack of funding being a significant obstacle to biodiversity studies in Poland, citizen science seems to be the only way to effectively monitor all the dynamic places in national entomofauna

Heteroptera Poloniae - Acta Faunistica

[A contribution to the distribution of true-bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) in Poland – II]. This paper presents over 3000 new faunistic records for 315 species of true-bugs in Poland. The distribution data of very rarely collected species, having less than 10 known localities in the country: Aradus bimaculatus Reuter, 1872, A. signaticornis Sahlberg R.F., 1848, Arocatus melanocephalus (Fabricius, 1798), Charagochilus spiralifer Kerzhner, 1988, Dichrooscytus gustavi Josifov, 1981, Dicyphus annu-latus (Wolff, 1804), Dictyla rotundata (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835), Emblethis denticollis Horvath, 1878, Heterogaster cathariae Geoffroy, 1785, Leptopus marmoratus (Goeze, 1778), Megalonotus praetextatus (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1835), Philomyrmex insignis R.F. Sahlberg, 1848, Prostemma guttula guttula (Fabricius, 1787), Temnostethus reduvinus reduvinus (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1850), Tropidothorax leucopterus (Goeze, 1778), and alien species expanding their distribution range in Poland, i.e. Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855), Leptoglossus occidentalis (Heidemann, 1910), Nezara viridula (Linnaeus, 1758), Orsillus depressus (Mulsant & Rey, 1852), Oxycarenus lavaterae (Fabricius, 1787) are summarized and visualized on the maps. A list of species reported for the first time from each zoogeographical regions of Poland is also provided

[A contribution to the distribution of true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) in Poland – III]. This paper is a continuation of a series of publications on the distribution of true bugs in Poland and includes new faunistic data for 306 species of true bugs. In total, data on 62 species previously unreported in 21 zoogeographical regions of Poland is presented, including some rarely collected: Brachyarthrum limitatum, Eurydema fieberi, Peritrechus gracilicornis, Stephanitis pyri, Tingis crispata. It is also noteworthy that this paper was largely prepared using citizen science, where many people (non-specialists in Heteroptera) collected data constituting almost 25% of the presented records. Importantly, the true bugs recorded in this way include species very rarely collected in Poland, and species alien to Polish fauna (e.g. Oxycarenus lavaterae, Nezara viridula and Halyomorpha halys). Due to the lack of funding being a significant obstacle to biodiversity studies in Poland, citizen science seems to be the only way to effectively monitor all the dynamic changes taking place in national entomofauna
