The terrestrial isopod (Isopoda, Oniscidea) fauna of the Rinya region II. Peterhida
1998
Forro, L. | Farkas, S.
Isopods of a dry oak forest and the surrounding ruderal vegetation were sampled along a line transect by pitfall trapping. The captured species were Armadillidium vulgare Latr. (46.16%), Porcellium collicola Verh. (33.16%), Trachelipus rathkii Brandt (10.29%) and Trachelipus ratzeburgi Brandt (9.47%). Difference was not found between the spatial distribution of A. vulgare and P. collicola. T. ratzeburgi seemed to prefer the inside of the oak forest, whereas individuals of T. rathkii was conspicuously higher at the sampled places than that in wetland forest. This phenomenon is probably due to the effect of the less suitable habitat.
