In our stud y the aggregated distribution patiern was typicat for the carabids: there were l9 cases where the statistical test was applicabie and l8 distributionpatierias out of l9 were significantly aggregated Table 2). Non-randona spatiat distributions were common ly reported for carabids LUFF l 986. NIEM EI A l 988a NIEM EI A et a l. l 992ab). The analyses of indicator species and the variation incarabid catches among traps and habitats Tabies i and 3) also fhow that the collected carabid species have a clear habitat and microsites preferences with specific en Viron mental conditions. The causes of the variation in catches among traps and habitats are unclear LUFF l 986. NIEM EI A et tit l986).

It may al SO be regarded as a simple statistical rule. Indeed. it is evident that both the mean and the variance are dependent on den-Sity, even when the patieria is not randona. BARTI ETT l 936) suggested that therelative Variance was likely to be a linear function of the mean. Zoologi sis frequently attribute a similar statement to I AO sl 968) for the relationship of Mori sita index and the mean. The Mori sita index is closely related to the index os dispersion. TAYLOR et al. l9 8) studi ed the patiern and density relationship for ahuge variety of different species, and they concluded that the multiplicative law suggested by TAYLOR sl 96 l) provides a better fit between Vari ance and mean. This relations hip is usual ly mentioned as Taylor's power law SOUTHwOODl9 8). The observed relations hip during our study is clearly a variant of the Tay

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF CARABIDS

At the studied spatiat scate, the occurrence of other carabids was a significant predictor of the abundance of a particular dominant and subdominant species Table d). Most of the correlations were positi Ve, SuggeSting Simit Ar response to habitat properties. Previous works NIEM EI A et al. l 992h. NIEMELA &SPENCE l 994) also reported some negative relationships. These relation sit ipswere usual ly between species of clearly different body si Zes or seasonat acti- vities, or both, and are probab ly better attributed to different microhabitat prenereiaces than to effecis of interspecific interactions. In our study there was a negative relations hip hetween the spatiat distribution of the smali Synuchus vivialis PANZER. lJ9J) and the much larger CartibuS circensis HERBST. lJ84 which alsos howed maximum activities at different times of the season.

NIEMELA l 988a) and NIEM EI A and SPENCE l 994) also reported two carabid species with similar siZe and sea sonat activity which showed negative interaction in a forest habitat. while these species in other forest associations showed a high overlap in spatiat distribution and in seasonat activi tys Ni EMEI A et ah l 992h.

DETECTION OF SPATIAL AUTO COR RELATIONAM ONG BIRD TERRITORI ES BASED ON LINETRANSECT CENSUS ES

Spatiat autocorrelations in the territories of mur marshland-nesting passerines Sedgewarhler Acrocmhialtis schoenobaenus. Reed Warhler A. scimaceus, Reed Bunting Emheriaci schoenicius and Savi's Warbier Locustella luscinioides) were demonstrated by correlograms computed by Moran 's I coefficient. The data set was based upon territory mapping of bree-ding hirds in His-Balaton Nature Reserve Hungary). For the Sedge warbier Seven consecutive line transect censu ses were also evaluated. Except for the first two transect censu Ses which were carried out at the beginning of the breeding season, autocorrelation analysis of the line transect censuses revealed similar patierias as the more accurate, but more time-consuming. territory mapping. Spatiat autocorrelation analysis of transect data revealed the mainseatures of the autocorrelation structure. the high value at any of the first three lags, hut noautocorrelation at lag 4 or 5.
