Zgrupowania wciornastków (Thysanoptera) pni drzew w różnowiekowych lasach dębowych Słowacji

The paper refers to the research on bark−dwelling thrips (Thysanoptera) on oaks (Quercus sp.) in the area of ‘Martinský les' wood that is a rare isolated refuge of natural oak wood stands Aceri tatarici−Quercetum Zólyomi 1957 being situated in lowland close to the town Senec in SW Slovakia. Arboreal photoeclectors were used for sampling corticolous arthropods at 6 various sites during the vegetation periods 2007 and 2008 in three−week intervals. Totally 1544 specimens of 35 Thysanoptera species were collected. Six of the species: Kakothrips dentatus, Thrips calcaratus, Phlaeothrips bispinoides, Hoplothrips corticis, Megathrips nobilis and Poecilothrips albopictus were observed for the first time in Slovakia. The statistic analysis PPCA was used for finding the relation between the assemblage's species composition and the age of oak trees on researched sites.
