متن کاملField Margins as Rapidly Evolving Local Diversity Hotspots for Ground Beetles (coleoptera: Carabidae) in Northern China
The diversity of carabid assemblages at newly established field margins was compared to the diversity in surrounding fields and woodland habitats at Dongbeiwang village, Beijing. Carabids were sampled using 6 pitfalls per plot at a total of 12 plots in the year 2000.
