“…This conclusion can be made if we compare the state of the fauna of the regions bordering the Penza region. For example, in the Republic of Mordovia, about 3,300 species of Coleoptera are already known Egorov 2018b, 2019a,b;Ruchin et al 2018Kazantsev et al 2019;Alekseev and Ruchin 2020;Egorov et al 2020b;Zemoglyadchuk et al 2020). In our research, the use of crown traps allowed us to detect 43 new species for the Penza region at once.…”

“…Coleoptera fauna inventory and regional faunal reports are conducted in many regions of Russia in order to preserve biodiversity (Storozhenko et al 2002;Budaev et al 2019;Prokin et al 2019;Rozhnov et al 2019;Bondarenko et al 2020;Egorov et al 2020a;Sergeev 2020;Zemoglyadchuk et al 2020). A significant part of the research is devoted to the study and conservation of rare and unique Coleoptera species, the loss of which can lead to a decrease in ecosystem biodiversity (Frolov 2013;Bardiani et al 2017;Redolfi De Zan et al 2017;Polevoi et al 2018;Ruchin and Egorov 2018a,b,c;Tomaszewska et al 2018;Ruchin and Khapugin 2019;Dedyukhin 2020).…”

Abstract. Ruchin AB, Egorov LV, Polumordvinov OA. 2021. Coleoptera of the Penza region, Russia based on fermental crown trap). Biodiversitas 22: 1946-1960. There are the results of processing the material of the 2019-2020 studies on Coleoptera from the Penza region, Russia. The surveys were carried out using fermental crown traps in various habitats on the territory of 18 districts of the region. In total, 18 traps were installed in 2019 and 96 traps – in 2020. During the research, 5,577 specimens were collected and recorded. Ninety-seven species from 19 families were found, of which 43 species are new to the Penza region. The most diverse families are Cerambycidae (24 species) and Elateridae (11 species). Species from the families Nitidulidae (3281 specimens), Scarabaeidae (1497 specimens), and Cerambycidae (453 specimens) predominated in the traps. A list of species is given, indicating references and information on biology. New data is given for 4 species included in the Red Data Book of the region (Protaetia fieberi, Protaetia speciosissima, Gnorimus variabilis, Purpuricenus globulicollis).

“…We think that these orders have also not yet been fully studied and their species diversity has not been fully revealed. For example, three new species of Diptera (Earomyia mordovia; Lonchaea cryptica; Lydella villosoventralis) have been described from the territory of MSNR, and more than 30 species have been registered for the first time in Russia and Europe [23][24][25][26].…”

To study and conserve biological diversity is one of the most important tasks of protecting natural ecosystems. According to long-term data, the biodiversity of invertebrates of Mordovia State Nature Reserve accounts for 6823 species out of 10 types of invertebrates: Rhizopoda (58 species), Porifera (1), Platyhelminthes (156), Nematoda (67), Annelida (4), Acanthocephala (1), Mollusca (62), Bryozoa (1), Rotifera (80), and Arthropoda (6393). Thus, the Mordovia State Nature Reserve belongs to one of the hotspots of biodiversity in the forests of the temperate zone in European Russia. It is home to a large number of rare species and three endemic species. The protected area is connected by ecological corridors with other territories and can be a source of genetic and species diversity for nearby ecosystems.

“…Seasonal cycles of Coleoptera activity have been studied for a long time and in various ways. There are many publications in which the authors describe in detail the seasonal activity of many species and families [10,[75][76][77][78]. One publication estimates the seasonal dynamics of Cerambycidae abundance in the Cerrado of Distrito Federal (Brazil) when caught on fermented sugar cane juice with the addition of various fruits [79].…”

There are few studies on the vertical distribution and seasonal activity of arthropods in open habitats (in glades) in temperate forests due to methodological problems associated with the arrangement of certain structures for trapping. However, glades in forests are places of significant biodiversity of native animals, which are attracted to such areas by the possibilities of nutrition, reproduction, and wintering. The research was carried out on the territory of the Republic of Mordovia (the center of the European part of Russia). Fermental traps (bait—fermenting beer with sugar) were used to collect Coleoptera. They were installed on a special structure at heights of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 m. The collections were carried out from May to October 2020 in a glade with an area of 0.93 hectares in a deciduous forest. At the end of the research, 745 specimens of 80 species were registered from 30 Coleoptera families. The greatest species diversity was recorded in Nitidulidae (11 species), Cerambycidae (10 species), Scarabaeidae (7 species), Elateridae, Coccinellidae, and Curculionidae (5 species each). The greatest species diversity (53 species) and numerical abundance were obtained at a height of 2 m, and the smallest one (16 species) at a height of 10 m. The largest differences in the Jaccard similarity index were obtained between samples from a height of 2 and 10 m. The maximum values of the Shannon index and the minimum values of the Simpson index were recorded at the height of 2 m. The most significant relative number of saproxylic species was obtained at a height of 4 m. The relative number of anthophilic species was minimal at a height of 10 m. The seasonal dynamics of Coleoptera abundance were the same at different heights and the highest abundance was observed in late May and early June. However, the seasonal dynamics were different for some Coleoptera species in the glade located and inside the forest. Our data confirm the relevance of sampling in open biotopes at different heights in the study of arthropod biodiversity.
