“…Thus, the species composition of Coleoptera in bait traps clearly depends on the specific composition of the bait itself [ 119 ]. Different fishing methods, when used correctly, can be effective tools, for example, in monitoring biodiversity and studying rare insect species that are difficult to detect by other methods [ 44 , 120 , 121 ].…”

“…Traps with baits made of fermenting liquids, such as wine, molasses, and beer, with the addition of bananas, apples, sugar and other natural fillers have proven effective in detecting many Coleoptera families [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. Previously, a mixture of beer with sugar, honey and jam was successfully used as bait [ 44 , 45 , 46 ]. Using such original and unusual collection methods, it is possible to find new species not only for the region, but also for science [ 47 , 48 ].…”

The possibilities of applying various methods to study Coleoptera give unexpected and original results. The studies were carried out with the help of fermental crown traps in 2018–2020 on the territory of eight regions in the central part of European Russia. The biodiversity of the Coleoptera that fall into crown traps includes 294 species from 45 families. The number of species attracted to the fermenting bait is about a third of the total number of species in the traps (this is 97.4% of the number of all of the caught specimens). The largest number of species that have been found in the traps belong to the families Cerambycidae, Elateridae and Curculionidae. The most actively attracted species mainly belong to the families Cerambycidae, Nitidulidae and Scarabaeidae. The species of these families are equally attracted by baits made of beer, white and red wines. In order to identify the Coleoptera biodiversity of a particular biotope, two-year studies are sufficient, and they should be carried out throughout the vegetation season. Especially good results can be obtained from studies of rare species that are actively attracted by such baits. It is possible to study the vertical–horizontal distribution of Coleoptera fauna in individual biotopes.

“…Sylvicola punctatus was the dominant species (88.7% of the total number of Anisopodidae specimens), which was found in all areas except plot CF1. It is the most frequently encountered species in the pine and deciduous forests of the Mordovia State Nature Reserve 109 . Larvae of this species live in rotting plant materials (fungi, leaves, manure, decaying wood), fermenting sap 110 .…”

Wildfires considerably affect forest ecosystems. However, there is a lack of data on the post-fire status of insect communities in these ecosystems. This paper presents results of a study conducted in 2019 which considered the post-fire status of the insect fauna in a Protected Area, Mordovia State Nature Reserve (Republic of Mordovia, centre of European Russia), considered as regional hotspot of insect diversity in Mordovia. We sampled insects on intact (unburned, control) and fire-damaged (burnt in 2010) sites and compared the alpha-diversity between sites. In total, we sampled and analysed 16,861 specimens belonging to 11 insect orders, 51 families and 190 species. The largest orders represented in the samples were Coleoptera (95 species), Diptera (54 species), Hymenoptera (21 species), and Neuroptera (11 species). Other insect orders were represented by between one and four species. The largest four orders (Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera and Hymenoptera) represented 96.7% of all studied specimens. We found that in the ninth year after low intensity surface fire damage, the insect diversity had returned to a similar level to that of the control (unburned) sites. Sites damaged by crown wildfire differed considerably from other sites in terms of a negative impact on both species diversity and the number of specimens. This indicates the serious effect of the crown fires on the biodiversity and consequent long-term recovery of the damaged ecosystem.
