Terrestrial isopods (Isopoda, Oniscidea) of Slovakia: an annotated checklist, new records, and bibliography Open
Woodlice (terrestrial isopods) represent an unmissable, often very numerous components of macrosaprophages inhabiting soil, rocky environments, rotting wood and subterranean habitats, as well as the dwellings of various organisms, includin…

Land-use determines the distribution of large branchiopods in climatically homogeneous northern Pannonia Open
Large branchiopods are key biota of temporary pools in Central European lowlands. Due to land use changes, they are among the most threatened aquatic invertebrates in Europe. The lack of information on the main drivers of species distribut…

Scuttle flies (Diptera: Phoridae) of subterranean habitats in Slovakia: a review and a case study Open
During biospeleological surveys in Slovakia in the past, phorid flies were usually overlooked or ignored. Only one species, Triphleba antricola (Schmitz, 1918), has been reported from some caves in Slovakia. The first more comprehensive st…

Millipedes (Diplopoda) of the Ojców National Park (Poland) Open
The Ojców National Park (southern Poland) is a small limestone area with outstanding natural values. Until now, there was a lack of information on the spatial distribution of species, their preference of biotopes and microhabitats in the a…

Characteristics of Fragments of Woodland and Their Influence on the Distribution of Soil Fauna in Agricultural Landscape Open
Fragments of woodland represent important natural and semi-natural elements that contribute to ecological stability and biodiversity in a landscape. In the Czech Republic, they are part of the Territorial System of Ecological Stability (TS…

An annotated checklist of millipede fauna from Slovakia, with ecological and biogeographic characteristics Open
Two decades have passed since the publishing of the last checklist of the millipedes of Slovakia. During this time, several new faunistic records have been added and taxonomic revisions have occurred. The present updated checklist summaris…

Terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea) in Slovak caves: species diversity and distribution along regional and geographical gradients Open
Územie Slovenska je bohaté na kras a jaskyne, najmä v hornatom reliéfe Západných Karpát - najsevernejšej distribučnej hranici pravej jaskynnej suchozemskej fauny v Európe. Fauna rovnakonôžok na Slovensku zahŕňa 48 druhov, z ktorých tretina…

Subterranean biodiversity and depth distribution of myriapods in forested scree slopes of Central Europe Open
The shallow underground of rock debris is a unique animal refuge. Nevertheless, the research of this habitat lags far behind the study of caves and soil, due to technical and time-consuming demands. Data on Myriapoda in scree habitat from …

Character of woodland fragments affects distribution of myriapod assemblages in agricultural landscape Open
Fragments of woodland fulfil many irreplaceable functions in the agricultural landscape including being the main source of biodiversity of soil invertebrates. Due to intensive farming and land use changes, especially in the second half of …

Dynamics of Collembola (Hexapoda) in a forested limestone scree slope, Western Carpathians, Slovakia Open
A labyrinth of air-filled voids in forested scree slopes represents one of the most common types of terrestrial shallow subterranean habitats in the temperate zone, characterized by relatively strong seasonal fluctuations of temperature an…

Local- versus broad-scale environmental drivers of continental <i>β</i> -diversity patterns in subterranean spider communities across Europe Open
Macroecologists seek to identify drivers of community turnover ( β -diversity) through broad spatial scales. However, the influence of local habitat features in driving broad-scale β -diversity patterns remains largely untested, owing to t…

Continental data on cave-dwelling spider communities across Europe (Arachnida: Araneae) Open
Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) are widespread in subterranean ecosystems worldwide and represent an important component of subterranean trophic webs. Yet, global-scale diversity patterns of subterranean spiders are still mostly unknown. In t…

Terrestrial isopods associated with shallow underground of forested scree slopes in the Western Carpathians (Slovakia) Open
The shallow underground of forested scree slopes represents a little-studied subterranean biotope. In this paper, species diversity and depth distribution of terrestrial isopod communities studied in the depth profile (5–95 cm from the sur…

Dynamics of collembolan communities inside the forested scree slope Open
The monthly dynamics of collembolan communities was studied over a year-long period in the depth profile of forested scree slope in the karst area of the Čierna hora Mts. (Western Carpathians, Slovakia). Collembola were sampled using non-b…
