Changes in carabid beetle assemblages across an urban-rural gradient in Japan
As part of the international Globenet project, carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) were collected using pitfall traps from four urban, four suburban and four rural sites in Hiroshima City, Japan, during the 2001 summer season. In agreement with expectation, carabid abundance and species richness decreased significantly from rural to urban sites. Furthermore, no large, and only few individua...
متن کاملA quarter of a century succession of epigaeic beetle assemblages in remnant habitats in an urbanized matrix (Coleoptera, Carabidae)
We studied the long-term (23-24 years) species turnover and succession of epigaeic beetle assemblages (Coleoptera: Carabidae, incl. Cicindelinae) in three remnant habitats [cottonwood (Populus spp.) and oak (Quercus spp.) stands, and old fields] that are embedded within highly urbanized areas in central Minnesota. A total of 9,710 beetle individuals belonging to 98 species were caught in three ...
متن کاملArtificial waterway design affects fish assemblages in urban estuaries
Fishes were collected from residential canal estates leading directly off natural estuaries and artificial lakes with control tidal exchange in south-east Queensland, Australia, to test the model that the difference in artificial waterway design affects fish assemblages. A total of 17 779 fish representing 52 species was caught, including 23 species of economic importance (45% of the catch). To...
متن کاملEffects of Riparian and Grassland Habitats on Ground Beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Assemblages in Adjacent Wheat Fields
Natural habitats surrounding agricultural Þelds provide a source of natural enemies to assist in pest control. The boundaries among landscape elements Þlter some organisms attempting to cross them, resulting in differing communities within the landscape elements. Ground beetles are numerous and generally disperse by walking. These qualities make them excellent organisms for the study of boundar...
متن کاملUrban forests sustain diverse carrion beetle assemblages in the New York City metropolitan area
Urbanization is an increasingly pervasive form of land transformation that reduces biodiversity of many taxonomic groups. Beetles exhibit a broad range of responses to urbanization, likely due to the high functional diversity in this order. Carrion beetles (Order: Coleoptera, Family: Silphidae) provide an important ecosystem service by promoting decomposition of small-bodied carcasses, and have...
