Abstract
Wall, one of the most distinct man-made constructions, is an extreme environment in many respects, such as the available room for settlement, the hardness and the alkalinity of the substratum, the scarcity of soil and humus, the inclination, the temperature and the humidity (Segal 1969). Thus, beeing a peculiar habitat, which is suitable for only a limited number of taxa, walls are the subject of an increasing number of publications.
