The aims of this work were: (i) to determine the distribution and abundance of Agriotes lineatus, (ii) correlate the abundance with the prevailing climatic conditions to establish how temperature and rainfall are influencing the dominance, and (iii) to determine the activity characteristics of the adults. Investigations were conducted in 17 fields grouped in four regions characterized by different climatic conditions. Using sex pheromone traps the most important Agriotes species (A. lineatus L., A. sputator L., A. obscurus L., A. brevis Cand. and A. ustulatus Schall.) were collected. The monitoring period for A. brevis, A. sputator, A. lineatus and A. obscurus was from the 18th to the 32nd, and for A. ustulatus from the 23rd to the 32nd week of the year. A total of 61,247 individuals Agriotes were captured, of which 24,916 individuals were A. lineatus. Abundance and dominance of A. lineatus were significantly higher in the region of Zagreb compared to other regions. Moving east, rainfall decreased and temperatures increased and associated with that the abundance and dominance indices were lower. It was determined that the abundance of A. lineatus was negatively correlated with average air temperature (r = -0.5201; p < 0.0001). Compared to earlier data from the region of Zagreb the dominance index decreased. This might be a result of climate change as established average yearly temperature in these regions increased for 1.04 °C compared to the average data for the period 1961-1990. Other potentially damaging Agriotes species (A. brevis and A. ustulatus) were also present in high abundances in some micro-regions.
(i)确定 Agriotes 线纹亚种的分布和丰度,(ii)将丰度与流行的气候条件相关联,以确定温度和降雨量如何影响其优势度,(iii)确定成虫的活动特征。研究在四个具有不同气候条件的区域的 17 个田间进行,利用性信息素诱捕器收集了最重要的 Agriotes 物种(A. lineatus L.、A. sputator L.、A. obscurus L.、A. brevis Cand. 和 A. ustulatus Schall.)。A. brevis、A. sputator、A. lineatus 和 A. obscurus 的监测期从当年的第 18 周到第 32 周,A. ustulatus 从第 23 周到第 32 周。共捕获了 61247 只 Agriotes 成虫,其中 24916 只为 A. lineatus。与其他地区相比,萨格勒布地区的 A. lineatus 丰度和优势度明显更高。向东移动时,降雨量减少,温度升高,丰度和优势度指数随之降低。确定 A. lineatus 的丰度与平均空气温度呈负相关(r=-0.5201;p<0.0001)。与萨格勒布地区早期的数据相比,优势度指数下降。这可能是气候变化的结果,因为这些地区的年平均温度比 1961-1990 年期间的平均数据升高了 1.04°C。在一些小区域,其他潜在的有害 Agriotes 物种(A. brevis 和 A. ustulatus)也大量存在。
