Lennert József–Répási Józsefné: Terrestrial malakofauna of the Hungarian section of the Fekete-Körös Valley I. (Research history and animal geographical classification)
Lennert József és Répási Józsefné Terrestrial malakofauna of the Hungarian section of the Fekete-Körös Valley I (Research history and animal geographical classification) - József Lennert and Mrs. József Répási Résumé The study presents the research history of the terrestrial malakofauna of the 20,5 kilometres long Hungarian flood-plain of the Fekete-Körös and its animal geographical classification. The basic survey of the Mollusca fauna in the Körös Region was carried out by Gyula Kovács in the 60s-70s. Károly Bába, Tamás Domokos, János Podani and András Varga also contributed to the further examination of snail fauna. As the result of the researches until 1980 the presence of 25 species, until 1998 37 species rose to notice from the Fekete-Körös Valley. Three tables of study contain the faunistic results. In the spirit of the Praecarpaticum conception of Tamás Deli the valley of the Körös Rivers includes more spots of the fluctuation zone of the Praecarpaticum. Disruption of the fluctuation zone into spots can be ascribed to impact of the land-transforming activities of man in the 18 th-20 th century. Translated by Attila В.
