| Title : | COMPARATIVE ANALYSES OF THE REPRESENTATION OF THE CETONIIDAE LEACH FAMILY ON MOUNT OZREN NEAR SARAJEVO, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATED TEMPERATURE AND BAROMETRI |
| Abstract : | During ecological research into the Cetoniidae leach family (1815), on the vertical profile of the south slopes of Mount Ozren near Sarajevo, a comparison was made between the number of units and species, and temperature values and barometric pressure recorded. The samples were collected in the period April-September 2008 and 2009 at six selected localities (Orlovac, Nahorevo, ÄŒavljak, Skakavac, Bukovik and Crepoljsko) with a scope of 41 terrain visits, where seven species had been ascertained and the researche covered six localities. The analysis of the selected material has shown that the biggest number of individuals was collected between 13th July 2008 and 5th July 2009. In both cases, exclusively the individuals of the species Oxythyrea funesta were collected: in 2008, 111 individuals were collected; in 2009, 112 individuals were collected. More than 20 individuals were collected in a single day, on more than one occasion: on 7th June 2008 (31 individuals of the Cetonia aurata species); on 10th June 2009 (21 individuals of the Oxythyrea funesta species and one individual each of the Cetonia aurata, Trichius sexuali and Valgus hemipterus species); on 12th June 2009 (32 individuals of the Oxythyrea funesta species and three individuals from each of the Cetonia aurata and Trichius sexualis species); and on 23rd June 2009 (20 individuals of the Oxythyrea funesta species). It has been ascertained that temperature values were higher on the days when the samples collected were largest. However, a correlation betweenthe values of barometric pressure and the number of individuals collected has not been determined. |
