Rare and relict saproxylic beetles in the Drawa National Park (Poland) – frequency, distribution and proposals of conservation

Abstract

Between 2023 and 2025, research was conducted on the occurrence of saproxylic beetles in the Drawa National Park. Barrier traps suspended on weakened and dying trees of the following forest-forming species were used to catch the beetles: Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, Qurcus robur, Fagus sylvatica, Alnus glutinosa and Betula pendula.

Among the beetles caught, relict species from the European list of species associated with natural forests were found: Aesalus scarabaeoides (Panz.), Colydium elongatum (Fabr.), Dicerca alni (Fisch.), Gasterocercus depressirostris (Fabr.), Grynocharis oblonga (L.), Hesperus rufipennis (Grav.), as well as species that are rare in Poland: Euracmaeops septentrionis (Thoms.), Bothrideres bipunctatus (Gmelin), Hyperisus plumbeum (Ill.), Isorhipis melasoides (Castel.), Microrhagus lepidus (Rosenh.), Opilio mollis (L.), Stenagostus rhombeus (Ol.) and Synchita undata (Guérin). For the species listed, their locations in the park, comments on the environment and general data on their distribution in Poland are provided, together with comments on the possibilities for protecting the populations of the species listed.

Keywords: Primeval forest relict beetles, saproxylic beetles, Central Europe
