abstract = {The potential of forest nature reserves as refuges for biodiversity seems to be overlooked probably due to their small size.

Saproxylic beetles are among the key groups for the assessment of biodiversity in forest habitats and longhorn beetles may play an important role in bioindication as they are ecologically associated with various microhabitats and considered a very heterogeneous family of insects. To study the role of forest reserves as important habitats for saproxylic beetles, we compared cerambycid assemblages in corresponding pairs of sites (nature reserves and managed stands) in a forest region under high anthropogenic pressure (Upper Silesia; Poland; Central Europe). Moreover, we also intended to assess the role played by these beetles as bioindicators in the different forest types from this area. According to the obtained diversity index values, the most valuable stands are located in nature reserves, whilst sites with the lowest value included managed forests together with two homogeneous and relatively recently established nature reserves. Our analyses demonstrated a positive correlation between deadwood volume and biodiversity, for both species richness and abundance. Our results indicate that the decisive factor is the type of a given habitat, whose characteristics can be mainly influenced/determined by forest management. The potential role of longhorn beetles as bioindicators is highlighted and the effectiveness of using traps in this family, as well as general issues regarding the use of non-selective lethal traps in the study of single invertebrate groups in protected areas are discussed. © 2021 The Author(s).

This is the first description of aquatic insects from the Pałegi locality. Triassolitophlebia palegica gen. et sp. nov. (Litophlebiidae) is established on the basis of an isolated forewing. This is the first finding of this family in the Northern Hemisphere, known previously only from the Molteno Formation (South Africa). This is also the first mayfly family from the Triassic which has been found in both Hemispheres, providing additional evidence of the presumed similarity of aquatic insect faunas in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres during the Triassic. The consistent wing venation of ancient mayflies with homonomous wings could be evidence that they originated from the same ancestor. The second new mayfly, Palegonympha triassica gen. et sp. nov. (Vogesonymphidae), is described on the basis of a single fossil nymph (imprint of the exuviae) and indicates the similarity of the Pałegi arthropod assemblage to that described from the Middle Triassic of France. The presence of a mayfly nymph in the last instar stage suggests not only that the Pałegi deposit represents a fluvial environment with well-oxygenated and limpid water but also that these conditions lasted long enough to allow for such development.

Two new mayfly genera and species from the Triassic deposits of the Pałegi area (southeast Poland) are described. This is the first description of aquatic insects from the Pałegi locality. Triassolitophlebia palegica gen. et sp. nov. (Litophlebiidae) is established on the basis of an isolated forewing. This is the first finding of this family in the Northern Hemisphere, known previously only from the Molteno Formation (South Africa). This is also the first mayfly family from the Triassic which has been found in both Hemispheres, providing additional evidence of the presumed similarity of aquatic insect faunas in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres during the Triassic. The consistent wing venation of ancient mayflies with homonomous wings could be evidence that they originated from the same ancestor. The second new mayfly, Palegonympha triassica gen. et sp. nov. (Vogesonymphidae), is described on the basis of a single fossil nymph (imprint of the exuviae) and indicates the similarity of the Pałegi arthropod assemblage to that described from the Middle Triassic of France. The presence of a mayfly nymph in the last instar stage suggests not only that the Pałegi deposit represents a fluvial environment with well-oxygenated and limpid water but also that these conditions lasted long enough to allow for such development.

The Pałęgi arthropod assemblage is similar to that described from the Middle Triassic of France and Germany but is dominated by remains of conchostracans and cockroaches. This new fauna expands our knowledge of the latest Early-early Middle Triassic diversity of insects and freshwater arthropods in the Germanic Basin. The newly discovered fauna represents one of the oldest Mesozoic records of insects described from the Buntsandstein facies of Europe, and provides important information to better appreciate the process of ecosystem recovery after the Permian-Triassic extinction. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.},

Two stratigraphical horizons in the Pałęgi clay-pit, a new Triassic paleontological site within Buntsandstein deposits (latest Olenekian-early Anisian in age) in the Holy Cross Mountains (Poland), have yielded arthropod faunas comprising ca. 400 fossil specimens assigned to two subphyla: Crustacea (class Branchiopoda and Maxillopoda) and Hexapoda (class Insecta). The Pałęgi arthropod assemblage is similar to that described from the Middle Triassic of France and Germany but is dominated by remains of conchostracans and cockroaches. This new fauna expands our knowledge of the latest Early-early Middle Triassic diversity of insects and freshwater arthropods in the Germanic Basin. The newly discovered fauna represents one of the oldest Mesozoic records of insects described from the Buntsandstein facies of Europe, and provides important information to better appreciate the process of ecosystem recovery after the Permian-Triassic extinction. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
