BIOGEOGRAPHY AND EVOLUTION OF ORE ALLEPIDOPTERA IN THE PALAEARCTIC

D Griment of ZOOlOD and Evolution; Lossuth L. Universi H 0J0 Dehreceri, Huriga FThe concept of the oreat fauna can be defined as that typis ying orographi catly caused non-arboreal biomes. It is considered here as a major biogeographical unit in iis own right. not ora lyas a component of the oreOtundi at fauna. The oreat fauna is correlated with orographi catly determined non-arboreal ecosystems and iis members have, as a rute, insular, osten strictlyendemic or disjunci areas os distribution. Iis chorological centres can be regarded mostly ason ly potentiat centres of dispersal. They can be recogni sed by accumulated occurrerace of

stenochorous species and by the hi gli species-diversi ty os sonae typical genera. The orealfauna can he subdivided into an a ine type, as the faunal type of humid hi gli motintains illi prevat ling glaciat morphology and with strong connections to the tundrai Zonobio me. and Xeromontane type, as the faunal type os arid hi gli motintains with prevat ling physical weathering and with manifold connections to the eremic Zonobiome. The formation of the alpine faunal type is closely connected to the Quaternary glaciations. Iis history can be characteri sed by long-distance translocations and disjunctions. resulting in a great number Ofarctic-alpine species. On the contrary, the Xersmontane faunal type displays a more continu-ous evolutionary history extending far back into preglaciat times and also demonstrates ahigh potentiat for spectation in such groups whicli are adapted to the cold-arid conditiosas. Amajor part of the xeromontane fauna appears to have been stationary with a great number of relict- like species, especialty in Some core areas of Central and Inner Asia. Xero montane species could only populate Central and Northeria Europe during the extreme continentallate-glacial and early post-glacial phases. In Europe and adjacent areas. INOSt xero montane species occur in the summer-dry Mediterranean high mountains frona the Atlas to Asia Minor. The xero montane fauna can be subdivi ded into a W Palaearctic Mediterranean-xero- montane) and a Central - and Inner-Asiatic Continental) subtype. This bifurcation arosethrough the influence of a 'xero montane stillet V on a set os ancesti ai species coming mostlyhom seasonalty humid. solitheasteria Asiatic mountains.

In lowland s the biotic composition of the most recent faunal range extensi oras predominate interacting with the prevat ling Zonobiomes . Even minor differences in the reli ef, e. g. canyon- like, deep, rocky ValleyS in table-land s, gorgesor step- like escarpments of plateaux can result in a heterogenei ty of the generalfaunal picture. The compositionat homogenei ty of the prevat ling Zonobio mehrealis down in response to narrow- scale en Vironmental factors whicli promote the furvivat os relict- like populations. We observe essentialty the fame phenomena in montainous regi Ons, where the macroclimaticalty influenced Zonat arrangement of major hi omes is disturbed by orographic factors. These conditions areexpressed in the high biotic diversi ty with in a limited area and in the coexistenceos different faunal types. Some of them are relicis of more ancient faunal in Vasions, which have furvived in restricted refuges. They are, as u rule, Osten members of relict- like communities or communi ty fragments that were more widely distributed in sonae former phases of the Quaternary climatic fluctuations. During climatic oscillations the more successi ut fraction of such previ ous ly restricted populations can irradiate, hence mountains also osten serve as Centres of disper- Sal. Thus, Severat components of orobiomes could be transformed during the ire volutionary history into components of Zonobiomes. These facts provide thebasis for severat ideas concerning the origin and history of tundi a talga and
