Data to Fauna of Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) of Bird's Nidocenoses. Addition

Abstract

In heterogeneous nidocenoses of 11 bird species, 25 beetle species from 11 families were recorded. Based on the spatial and temporal criteria, nidocenoses was divided into groups. Among the beetles, environmental groups of obligate nidicolous – botrobionts (Gnathoncus buyssoni and Dendrophilus xavieri), facultative nidicolous – botrophiles and random species in the nests – botroxenes were identified. New cases of unintentional phoresy of adult beetles on birds were recorded (Anthrenus sp. on Sturnus roseus, Reesa vespulae on Columba livia, Stegobium paniceum on Luscinia svecica and Litargus connexus on Fringilla coelebs). Among the invaders, the drugstore beetle Stegobium paniceum and the North American skin beetle Reesa vespulae were recorded. The finding of the second species directly in bird plumage (together with other facts of phoresy and the habitation of invaders in bird nests) has a possible significance for phoresy in the expansion of invaders, as well as the probable role of the nests in the naturalization of invasive species.
