Response of female beetles to LIDAR derived topographic variables in Eastern boreal mixedwood forests (Coleoptera, Carabidae)
Biodiversity monitoring is increasingly being bolstered with high resolution data derived from remote sensing such as LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging). We derived a series of topographical variables, including slope, azimuth, ground curvature and flow accumulation from LIDAR images and compared these to captures of female carabids in pitfall traps in Eastern boreal mixedwood forests. We deve...
متن کاملLandscape patterns of species-level association between ground-beetles and overstory trees in boreal forests of western Canada (Coleoptera, Carabidae)
Spatial associations between species of trees and ground-beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) involve many indirect ecological processes, likely reflecting the function of numerous forest ecosystem components. Describing and quantifying these associations at the landscape scale is basic to the development of a surrogate-based framework for biodiversity monitoring and conservation. In this study, we ...
متن کاملShort-term response of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to fire and logging in a spruce-dominated boreal landscape
For thousands of years, fire has been the main stand-replacing disturbance in the boreal forest but is now being supplemented by logging over most of the biome’s extant. Community response to such disturbances of different nature and severity has been extensively compared in plant, but rarely in animal communities. Effects of fire and logging on some groups, such as ground beetles, have been as...
متن کاملEcosystem Responses to Partial Harvesting in Eastern Boreal Mixedwood Stands
Partial harvesting has been proposed as a key aspect to implementing ecosystem management in the Canadian boreal forest. We report on a replicated experiment located in boreal mixedwoods of Northwestern Quebec. In the winter of 2000–2001, two partial harvesting treatments, one using a dispersed pattern, and a second, which created a (400 m) gap pattern, were applied to a 90-year-old aspen-domin...
متن کاملGround beetles of the Ukraine (Coleoptera, Carabidae)
A review of the ground beetles of the Ukrainian fauna is given. Almost 750 species from 117 genera of Carabidae are known to occur in the Ukraine. Approximately 450 species of ground beetles are registered in the Carpathian region. No less than 300 species of ground beetles are found in the forest zone. Approximately 400 species of Carabidae present in the forest-steppe zone are relatively simi...
