“…Therefore, they can be considered as a good indicator species of climate change (Gergócs and Hufnagel, 2009;Gergócs et al, 2010). For instance, a recent paper by Kocsis and Hufnagel (2011) of the impacts of climate change on the fourth largest order of insects in Europe discussed remarkable changes in abundance, distribution range and phenology of Lepidoptera.…”

Abstract. In this paper the projected future impact of climate change has been analyzed for the quality of living conditions of the European terrestrial vertebrates (amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals) in the Carpathian Basin. According to the climate scenarios, warmer and drier climatic conditions are likely to occur in the Carpathian Basin by end of this century. Simultaneous analysis of climate parameters, climate simulations and animal range datasets enables us to evaluate the vulnerability of different European species to regional warming and climate change. The spatial climate analogy technique is used to analyze the estimated rapid change of the wild animals' habitats and their northward migration. For the reference climate data of Debrecen is considered, and three spatial analogue regions are compared. The results suggest that generally a significant decline in habitats is very likely for most of the analyzed animal groups by the end of the 21 st century. The largest rate of decline is estimated for birds. However, living conditions for reptiles may improve in the future due to the warmer and drier climatic conditions, which are favourable for these species.

Abstract. Oribatid mites are one of the most abundant and species rich group in soil mesofauna. In spite of this, we have limited knowledge on the role they play in ecological processes. Since they are small like other mesofauna members and live a hidden life, their observation is difficult. Their life style, interactions with other organisms and role in soil decomposition processes can be investigated with laboratory experiments more exactly and effectively. While the literature of microcosm studies is very extensive, relatively few review papers have been written about the methodology of microcosm studies. The present review summarizes details of techniques that have been applied laboratory microcosms involving oribatid mites. It is shown what one should keep in mind in planning, composing and setting up a microcosm. Our comparative evaluation reveals how the laboratory experiments were maintained and manipulated and what kind of information was extracted. This methodological review can be useful in preparing microcosm experiments applied to other animal groups as well.

“…The fastest growing trends in biogeography are those that are closely related to quantitative ecology [18][19][20]. Quantitative ecology is one of the most important disciplines of our time, which is an indispensable part of ecology, environmental science, agricultural sciences, research methodology, biometrics, and also biogeography.…”

Additional information is available at the end of the chapterPure and applied biogeography is the study of the spatial and temporal distribution of taxa, life forms, communities, biomes, and natural or human-influenced ecosystems of our planet in large scales.Biogeography is one of the oldest life sciences, because already since Alexander von Humboldt's work (1769-1859) it has been a theoretically grounded discipline.Phytogeography and zoogeography are classical subdisciplines of biogeography that study the spatial and temporal distribution of plants and animals, the flora and fauna. Also impor- However, many new theoretical trends have emerged recently [14,15], a number of new methods are used [16], and biogeography has gained outstanding social significance through the effects of human land use on natural communities [17].
