insects, spiders, taxonomic list, fauna, biodiversity, protected species, Gorgany, Ukrainian CarpathiansAbstract
The data on Arachnida (Araneae) and Insecta diversity of the “Syniohora” National Nature Park are generalized in the paper. The territory covers central and highest part of the Gorgany mountain range in the Ukrainian Carpathians (Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine). A brief overview of the history of research on the araneo- and entomofauna of the Park is provided, and the state of knowledge about selected groups of arthropods is analyzed. Information about species included in international, national, and regional conservation lists is summarized. The taxonomic list of spiders and insects was created based on unpublished data from the authors’ collections, scientific reports, literapure sources and annual nature chronicles available in the Park, as well as information located on online resources on biodiversity (UkrBIN, iNaturalist, “Biodiversity of Ukraine”). For each species, the relevant sources according to which it was included in the list are indicated, as well as (if available) its conservation status and critical comments by the authors. As of 2025, 177 species from 24 families of spiders and 1,300 species from 142 families and 14 orders of insects are known from the “Syniohora” National Nature Park. Among them, 51 species have a conservation status. In particular, 16 insect species are protected at the national level and are listed in the current edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2021); 42 species are protected at the regional level, including 17 species of spiders in the Red List of Spiders of the Carpathians (Gajdoš et al., 2014), and 26 species of insects in the Red Book of the Ukrainian Carpathians (2011). There are 5 species under international protection included in the conservation lists of the Bern Convention (Appendix II and Resolution No. 6). The presented taxonomic list does not claim to be complete, but it serves as a basis for further inventorying and monitoring the diversity of arthropods, as well as maintaining a cadastre of the protected area and protecting the natural complexes of the Syniohora National Nature Park. Further research in the Park should focus on the study of poorly investigated and previously unrecorded groups of invertebrates, the refinement and expansion of habitat inventories, and the implementation of long-term monitoring and analyses of invertebrate community structure.
