The northeastern part of the Carpathian Lowland is one of the most species-rich parts of the region, despite the long-term and sometimes extreme changes in land use. The fragmented remains of formerly contiguous forests maintain a significant part of the wildlife living in different oak, mixed oak, and gallery forest, and even faunas of connected grassland habitats. To reveal how the parallel Carpathian and Pannonian effects form the local insect fauna, the Noctuoidea assemblages of eight forest patches were assessed and compared, based on the distribution data of 479 species. Three types of assemblages were designated, with similar diversity but different compositions. The most unique and valuable ones can be found in the colline area of Transcarpathia, where the high habitat diversity supported by the topography promotes the coexistence of the species of humid forest fauna and many steppic and southern elements. The protection and planned management of these remained forest patches and their network in international cooperation can maintain a significant part of the fauna of the affected regions.
尽管经历了长期的、有时是极端的土地利用变化,喀尔巴阡低地的东北部仍然是该地区物种最丰富的地区之一。曾经连续的森林的零碎残余部分维持了生活在不同的栎树、混合栎树和长廊森林中的野生动物的重要部分,甚至是连接的草原栖息地的动物群。为了揭示平行的喀尔巴阡山脉和潘诺尼亚效应如何形成当地昆虫动物群,基于 479 个物种的分布数据,评估和比较了 8 个森林斑块的夜蛾类集合。指定了三种类型的集合,它们具有相似的多样性,但组成不同。最独特和最有价值的集合可以在特兰西瓦尼亚的丘陵地区找到,那里由地形支持的高栖息地多样性促进了潮湿森林动物群的物种以及许多草原和南方元素的共存。这些剩余森林斑块及其在国际合作中的网络的保护和有计划的管理可以维持受影响地区的动物群的重要部分。
