Haris Attila: Hymenoptera Research in the Carpathian Basin - Natura Somogyiensis 29. (Kaposvár, 2016)
History of the Aculeata research in Czechoslovaki, in Slvoakia and int he Czech part of the Carpathian Basin from 1920
Haris, A.: Hymenoptera Research in the Carpathian Basin 121 Peter Liska Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University of Ecosozoology in Bratislava. Peter Liska took part of several faunistic investigations of Aculeata, mainly digger wasps of different regions like Hády Hill (Dvorák et al. 2008), Krasin Nat. Res. (LukáS and LiSka 2005). With Józef Lukás, they summarized the history of digger wasp research in Slovakia and added new species to the existing lists (LukáS and LiSka 2004, 2005). They studied the distribution of Sceliphron species, including the invasive Sceliphron curvatum (Smith, 1870) (Bogusch et al. 2005, LiSka and LukáS 2004, LukáS, Bogusch and LiSka 2006). Antonín Pridal (1972 Brno -, teacher at Mendel University in Brno, Section of Apiculture). He is interested in Apoidea: Apiformes, their faunistics and beekeeping and population management (honey bee, bumble bees and solitary bees) either. Antonín Pridal with Bofek Tkalcű recorded Bombus sichelii Radoszkowski, 1859 from the Czech and Slovak border (Pridal and Tkalcű 2003). He published several faunistic papers on the White Carpathian Mts. (PRidal 1998a) and various places from the Czech and Slovak Republic (Pridal 1998b, 2014, Pridal and Komzáková 2009). Important part of his publications the national checklists on the Apoidea of Czech Republic and Slovakia (Pridal 2001, 2004). Antonín took part in the project titled "Annotated checklist of the Aculeata (Hymenoptera) of the Czech Republic and Slovakia", in which he took part in the Apoidea part (Straka, Bogusch and Pridal 2007). Petr Bogusch According to Peters's self-biography: "My name is Petr Bogusch and I was born in Strakonice, Czech Republic, on August 21st 1980.1 studied Charles University in Prague, where I got MSc. degree of Zoology (2003) and Ph.D. of Evolutionary Biology (2006). In 2015,1 got Doc. (associate professor) degree in Masaryk University in Brno in Zoology. I work in University of Hradec Králové, Faculty of Science, Department of Zoology, where I am head of Division of Zoology since 2012. I teach several zoological subjects — Evolutionary Biology, Field Excursions of Zoology and Phylogeny of Invertebrates. I lead students with their MSc. and Ph.D. theses, especially of parts of my projects. My research is focused on the Aculeata (Hymenoptera). I started with the phylogeny and ecology of cuckoo bees in 1999, as well as with the taxonomy and ecology of European Aculeata. Recently, I work with my team of students and colleagues mostly on the studies on the Aculeata of post-industrial sites, hymenopterans in reed galls and starting a project about hymenopterans in empty snail shells. I have published 46 reviewed scientific papers, of which 18 are with Impact Factor. I am author of 3 books — checklist of the Aculeata of the Czech Republic and Slovakia (2007, and I am here also the main editor), atlas of Czech Aculeata (2010) and European Red List of Bees (2014). Recently, I work on Czech Red List of Aculeata, which should be published in 2016. Iam also author of many popular papers in Czech magazines, conference abstracts, book chapters about Hymenoptera of post-industrial sites (both in Czech and English) and lectures about the Aculeata." Very important part of his publications are the various check lists: Petr Bogusch is one of the editors of "Annotated checklist of the Aculeata (Hymenoptera) of the Czech Republic and Slovakia" in which they reported 1453 species from the Carpathian Basin (Slovakia and Moravian Carpaths). In this monograph (Bogusch, Straka and Kment 2007), he participated in the Apiformes (Straka, Bogusch and Pridal 2007) part. We may find also important faunistic data on Mutillidae in Bogusch 2006a,b. Three papers of him discuss the distribution of Sceliphron species, 2 of them study the spreading of the invasive Sceliphron curvatum (Smith, 1870) in the Carpathian Basin (Bogusch et al. 2005, Cltkovjc et al. 2005 and LukáS, Bogusch and Liska 2006). In "Hosts, foraging behavior and distribution of six species of cleptoparasitic bees of the subfamily Anthophorinae",
