Prvi nalaz rijetkih i ugroženih saproksilnih kornjaša, Cucujus cinnaberinus (Scopoli, 1763), Rhysodes sulcatus (Fabricius, 1787) i Omoglymmius germari (Ganglbauer, 1891) u Parku prirode Kopački rit

In 2014 research was carried out into saproxylic beetle fauna in different forest communities in Kopački rit Nature park. There were 64 species of saproxylic beetles found in the area. Among them Cucujus cinnaberinus (Scopoli, 1763) and Rhysodes sulcatus (Fabricius, 1787) are protected by the European Habitats Directive (Annex II and IV of Council Directive 92/43/EEC) as well as by the Bern Convention (Annex II), and are listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. R. sulcatus and Omoglymmius germari (Ganglbauer, 1891), which was also determined, are also virgin forest relict species of Europe-wide importance. Additionally, we have used intercept traps, pitfall traps and air traps with attractants to estimate the relative abundance and seasonal activity of adults as well as to estimate trapping efficiency. Some morphological, biological and distributional features of these three species are discussed.Tijekom 2014. godine provedeno je istraživanje saproksilnih kornjaša unutar različitih šumskih zajednica na području Parka prirode Kopački rit. Utvrđena je prisutnost 64 vrste. Vrste Cucujus cinnaberinus (Scopoli, 1763) i Rhysodes sulcatus (Fabricius, 1787) navedene su u Direktivi o staništima (Dodatak II i IV Direktive 92/43/EEC) i Bernskoj konvenciji (Dodatak II) te se nalaze na IUCN-ovom Crvenom popisu ugroženih vrsta. Vrste Rhysodes sulcatus i Omoglymmius germari (Ganglbauer, 1891) su reliktne vrste netaknutih šuma od europske i međunarodne važnosti. Za uzorkovanje su korištene barijerne klopke, lovne klopke u tlu te zračne klopke s atraktantom kako bi se procijenila relativna brojnost i sezonska aktivnost odraslih jedinki kao i učinkovitost navedenih metoda. U radu su prikazana neka morfološka i biološka obilježja kao i raprostranjenost ove tri vrste
