Zoology

Survey of ColLembola (Hexapoda) of the Codrii Reserve

pollen etc. Collembola of these life forms constitute 42.9% from revealed in reserve species, including macrophytobiont, microphytobiont and edaphobiont (tab. 1)

It is important to reveal the zoogeographical analysis of the studied species. In the studied scientific reserve the most abundant collembolan species have Palaearctic distribution — 25%, followed by cosmopolitan — 23.2%, Holarctic and European — 21.4% each and Mediterranean - 6.3%. However, among the studied species 2.7% have a restricted area of distribution being also present in the adjacent countries Romania and Ukraine or were described from the Republic of Moldova.

The identified Collembola species are highly diversified ecologically and in many cases habitat-restricted. The presence of the rare collembolan species as well as newly described species, indicate the importance and conservation value of Codrii Reserve.
