The eastern territories have a more continental climate with 550-650 mm precipitation and an average temperature of 10 - 11 °C. The southern slopes of the Mecsek and Villanyi Mts. have a sub-mediterranean climate. On the other hand, submontane effects are noticeable on the peaks and the northern slopes of the mountains. The researched area involves lowlands and hill rows with heterogeneous vegetation (Table 1.). The UTM grid was used as the basis for pointing out the sampling sites. The whole territory is covered by 175 UTM squares of 10 x 10 km 2 and on average two locations (a total of 343) were investigated in every square (Fig. 1.). The sampling sites were chosen in the characteristic biotopes of the area (marshes, riverine and swamp woodlands, fresh and dry oak woodlands, black locust plantations) easy of access. The fauna of cities, suburbs, villages and disturbed habitats was also examined in several cases.
