The effects of soil contamination of petroleum products: unleaded petrol, diesel oil and used engine oil on ground beetle Harpalus rufipes De Geer were investigated. We measured development parameters (the survival and growth rate) and biochemical defense system parameters (the activity of the cytosolic fraction enzymes: superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione transferase, heat shock proteins HSP70, carboxyloesterase and acetylcholinesterase and microsomal fraction enzymes: cytochrome c (P450) reductase and ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase) in the ground beetle H. rufipes. Animals were reared on contaminated soil (6 g of each petroleum product per kg of dry soil weight) through four week. There was no difference in growth rate among animals from different experimental groups. The negative impact was revealed on survival rate of the ground beetles exposed to diesel oil (ca 30 % lower) at the end of the rearing in comparison with animals from control group. In turn, for animals exposed to other petroleum products, the inhibition of some examined enzymes was measured. The effects of each petroleum product were specific. The animals kept through four weeks on soil contaminated with diesel oil had only higher glutathione transferase activity than control ones. The decrease of catalase activity, HSP70 protein in animals exposed to used engine oil and the decrease of acetylcholinesterase, glutathione transferase activity in animals exposed to unleaded petrol were noted.

W badaniach porównywano wpływ produktów naftowych (benzyna bezołowiowa, olej napędowy i zużyty olej silnikowy) na chrząszcza Harpalus rufipes De Geer. Mierzono parametry: rozwojowe (przeżywalność i tempo wzrostu) i parametry biochemiczne związane z funkcjonowaniem systemu obronnego (aktywność enzymów frakcji cytozolowej: dysmutazy ponadtlenkowej, katalazy, transferazy glutationowej, białek szoku cieplnego HSP70, karboksylśsterazy i acetylocholin esterazy oraz aktywność enzymów frakcji mikrosomalnej: reduktazy cytochromu c (P450) i deetylazy etoksy-rezorufiny) w ciele chrząszczy. Do badań wykorzystano zwierzęta hodowane na glebie skażonej dawką 6 g każdego produktu ropopochodnego na kg suchej masy gleby przez okres czterech tygodni. Nie wykazano istotnych zmian w tempie wzrostu między zwierzętami z różnych grup eksperymentalnych. Ujawniono negatywny wpływ na przeżywalność chrząszczy eksponowanych na olej napędowy (ok. 30 %) pod koniec okresu doświadczalnego, w porównaniu ze zwierzętami z grupy kontrolnej. Z kolei u zwierząt eksponowanych na pozostałe produkty ropopochodne stwierdzono zahamowanie aktywności niektórych badanych enzymów. Efekty działania produktów ropopochodnych były specyficzne. Zwierzęta przetrzymywane na glebie skażonej olejem napędowym cechowała wyższa aktywność transferazy glutationowej w porównaniu do kontroli. Obniżenie aktywności katalazy i poziomu białek szoku cieplnego HSP70 zarejestrowano u zwierząt poddanych działaniu zużytego oleju silnikowego, natomiast obniżenie aktywności acetylocholinesterazy i transferazy glutationowej stwierdzono u zwierząt eksponowanych na działanie zanieczyszczeń benzyny bezołowiowej.

Former studies usually show a positive effect of landscape heterogeneity on different groups of animals occurring in crop fields but some controversies have been discovered. The aim of this study was to answer the question whether the introduction of mid-field tree belts can help to increase numbers of predatory carabids in crop fields. Distance and the direction of movements of individually marked carabids caught in traps in the shelterbelts and in the adjacent crop fields were measured during one week of July (in 2003 and 2004). Pitfall traps (N=360) were placed 2 meters apart in 30 parallel rows which formed a rectangle of 58 x 22 m divided into 5 strips (5 rows in each one). Strip A was located in the shelterbelt, the others (B-E) were placed in the field. Beetles (exclusively - Harpalus rufipes (Degeer, 1774) which predominated in both habitats) after being marked with fast drying paint (non-dissolving in water, not harmful, and using dot code) were released at the same spots where they were caught. Accordingly 1099 and 1683 individuals in both years were marked and the number of recaptured individuals was equal to 259 (24%) and 307 (18%). Proportion of recapture rate for individuals marked in particular strips ranged between 18 and 28%. Mobility of the beetles was similar in both years (15.9 m and 16.5 m; t = 0.59, df=579, P> 0.5). Individuals marked within the shelterbelt (strip A) were in both years caught much further away (25 and 27 m) than the individuals marked in opposite strip E, located in crop field (15 and 17.5 m). Differences between the distance covered daily by insects marked in the field and in the shelterbelt were statistically significant whereas differences between distances covered within the field by insects marked in particular strips - were not significant. Only 8-9% of insects marked in the shelterbelt (strip A) was recaptured in the same strip while recapture rate for individuals marked in other strips was higher -16 to 32%. The proportion of insects marked in the field (strip B, C, D, E) and recaptured in the shelterbelt was very low (2-11%). The comparison of recapture rates between strips A and B also shows that insects move mostly from the shelterbelt to the field. As much as 30-34% of the insects marked in the shelterbelt were caught in the bordering field. Among the insects marked in the next strip B, adjacent to the shelterbelt, only 10-11% individuals were caught in the shelter-belt. Presented results indicate that dominating direction of the dispersal in the mosaic landscape is from the shelterbelt to the field.

In 1997 and 1998, insects settling cultures of goats rue (Galega orientalis Lam.) at Mochełek were caught. Amongst ground beetles the dominating species were: Pterostichus melanarius III., Carabus auratus L., Harpalus rufipes De Geer, Harpalus aeneus F., and Bembidion lampros Hbst. and Harpalus frolichi Sturm. were subdominants.

W latach 1997 i 1998 odławiano do pułapek Barbera owady zasiedlające uprawy rutwicy wschodniej (Galega orientalis Lam.) w Mochełku. Celem badań było poznanie składu gatunkowego fauny biegaczowatych. W laboratorium segregowano zebrany materiał faunistyczny, oddzielano biegaczowate i charakteryzowano pod względem liczebności odłowu oraz oznaczano gatunki. Spośród biegaczowatych gatunkami dominującymi były: Pterostichus melanarius III., Carabus auratus L., Harpalus rufipes De Geer, Harpalus aeneus F., a do subdominatów należały: Bembidion lampros Hbst. i Harpalus frolichi Sturn.
