Only 15 species were classified as very abundant or abundant while as many as 174 were few and single. The following species were the most abundant: Xestia c-nigrum, Autographa gamma, Discestra trifolii, Mythimnapallens, M. l-album, Agrotis exclamationis, A. segetum, Hoplodrina ambigua and Luperina testacea. These species occurred abundant-ly everywhere. They are chiefly associated with open-area habitats (including anthropogenic ones). Noctuid communities in the centre of Warsaw have changed considerably over the last 50 years. The most abundant species have remained a constant element but rare (few and single) species have begun to disappear from the city centre, probably as a result of unfavourable environmental changes due to intensive urbanization of this area.}, type={Text}, title={Long-term changes in communities of Noctuidae, Pantheidae and Nolidae (Lepidoptera) of Warsaw city centre}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/54517/PDF/WA058_61144_P256-T46_Fragm-Faun-Nr-1.pdf}, keywords={lepidopterans, Insecta, insects, butterflies and moths, Warsaw, Poland, Warsaw (region), Lepidoptera, man's impact, effect of human beings}, }
