Notes:
This small but important volume summarizes catalogized data on endemic and relict specis of Orthoptera, Plecoptera, Ephemeroptera, Heteroptera, Neuroptera, Coleoptera, Trichoptera, Lepidoptera from the largest protected area in Bulgaria, the Pirin National Park. As most sensitive to human activity, the relict and endemic faunas need special attention in all kinds of nature conservation measures. The endemics and relicts, as biodiversity components, represent the unique character of the regional faunas, and thus they are of special interest to both the biogeographers and the nature conservationists. Pirin is one of the largest Bulgarian Mountains rich of several types of habitats, from sub-mediterranean to the alpine habitats above 2700—2800 m a. s. l. The species lists are analysed in terms of distribution along belts and habitats, as well as with regard to the zoogeographical history of the different groups. In a separate chapter, some general results and conclusions are discussed.
