1 Differentiation of Coleoptera (Carabidae & Tenebrionidae) communities in Mediterraneantype ecosystems from mountainous areas in the Peloponnese, Greece I. Anastasiou & A. Legakis Zoological Museum, Dept. of Biology, Univ. of Athens, Panepistimioupolis, Athens, Greece
2 Introduction Mountains of Greece well defined habitat types Phrygana Maquis Deciduous Forests Coniferous Forests Mixed Forests Alpine Vegetation Epigeic invertebrate fauna Palaeogeographic history of mountains Same differentiation
3 Area of Study The Peloponnese is a mountainous area in Southern Greece Invertebrate fauna: High diversity High levels of endemism 5 mountains were studied
4 Area of Study 2 different habitats were studied: Maquis and Phrygana Maquis Erymanthos Alt: 850 m Dominant Sp.: Quercus coccifera, Juniperus sp. Maquis Mainalo Alt: 700 m Dominant Sp.: Quercus coccifera, Juniperus sp. Maquis Taygetos Alt: 600 m Dominant Sp.: Quercus coccifera, Juniperus sp., Arbutus adrachne, A. unedo Phrygana Chelmos Alt: 750 m Dominant Sp.: Euphorbia sp., Sarcopoterium spinosum Callicotome villosa Maquis Chelmos Alt: 850 m Dominant Sp.: Quercus coccifera, Juniperus sp. Phrygana Taygetos Alt: 600 m Dominant Sp.: Euphorbia sp., Sarcopoterium spinosum Callicotome villosa Maquis Parnonas Alt: 600 m Dominant Sp.: Quercus coccifera, Juniperus sp.
5 The present study looks into the structure and differentiation of the communities of two of the major soil coleopteran families (Carabidae( & Tenebrionidae) ) in Mediterranean-type type ecosystems and assesses the effects of a number of environmental parameters
6 Methods In each mountain: Mediterranean habitat types Pitfall traps Carabidae & Tenebrionidae
7 Methods Sampling Period Sampling Frequency Sampling Method July 1995 June 1998 Seasonally Standard Pitfall Traps (plastic cups of 250ml containing about 50ml of ethylene glycol) 20 traps per biotope (distance between them 15m) laying on two transect lines (distance between lines 50m)
8 Methods Environmental parameters 1. Humidity Dry vs. fresh weight of soil 2. ph ph-meter 3. Soil organic content Combustion 4. Water capacity Water retainment in dry soil 5. Altitude Altimeter 6. Position on N-S axis 7. Position on W-E axis 8. Extent of open ground 9. Cover by shrubs 10. Cover by phrygana
9 PHRYGANA Biotopes MAQUIS Altitudinal Range: from 600 to 750 m. Coverage: Shrubs, Bushes, Soil, Rocks. Vegetation: Spartium junceum, Astragalus sp., Sarcopoterium spinosum, Asparagus acutifolius, Teucrium capitatum, Phlomis fruticosa, Callicotome villosa, Satureja sp., Cistus creticus, Euphorbia sp. Altitudinal Range: from 600 to 850 m. Coverage: Bushes, Shrubs, Soil, Rocks. Vegetation: Quercus coccifera, Brachypodium sp., Phillyrea latifolia, Cistus creticus, Dorycnium hirsutum, Hypericum empetrifolium, Cotinus coggygria, Arbutus adrachne, A. unedo, Teucrium sp.

31 Conclusions 1 Diversity of Carabidae is higher in the northern mountains and in phrygana Number of species of Tenebrionidae is higher in phrygana and especially for Taygetos Diversity of Tenebrionidae does not show significant differences between maquis and phrygana Diversity of Tenebrionidae is higher for the southern mountains Diversity in phrygana is markedly higher. This is more evident in Carabidae Although the total diversity does not seem to differ significantly among mountains, in reality there is a marked difference in seasonal variation in each mountain The biggest difference in diversity between maquis and phrygana was observed during spring
32 Conclusions 2 The analysis of the structure the communities revealed a differentiation between stations of the different mountains, especially following a N-S gradient Differences in structure were also observed between the habitat types Community structure changes gradually between spring and summer and abruptly between summer and autumn Vegetation cover and the plant species composition seem to affect the distribution and abundance of the species The highest values of density/activity were obtained during spring During spring the most important environmental parameters affecting the structure of the community seem to be humidity (which is strongly correlated to shadow), the N-S gradient, and the presence of phrygana The increase of temperature during summer was compensated by movement to the shadow under the shrubs. This seems to be the reason for an increased summer activity in several stations
