Flight activity of beetles (Coleoptera) in Vysoké Tatry Mts (Malaise fauna)

Abstract

In 2006 we studied flight activity of beetles at 4 sites in Vysoké Tatry Mts using a method of Malaise traps. The research was focused to find differences in diversity and equitability of beetle coenoses in 2 biotope types. The assemblages appear balanced in undamaged forest habitats. At deforested sites we recorded decline in equitability.
