Heavy metals in carabids (Coleoptera, Carabidae)
Carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) are one of the most studied soil groups in relation to heavy metal (HM) accumulation and use for bioindication of environmental pollution. Accumulation of Zn and Cu in carabid beetles was species-, sex- and trophic group-specific. No differences were found in HM contents between omnivorous and carnivorous species. The use of carabid beetles as indicators ...
متن کاملEffects of groundcover management on ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in an apple orchard
A field experiment was conducted in a cider-apple orchard to evaluate the effect of six groundcover management systems (pine-bark, plastic and straw mulches, tillage, herbicide and natural soil) on the occurrence of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae). Eight species of carabids were collected in pitfall traps. The three most common beetles, Steropus gallega Fairmaire (65.8%), Pseudophonus ru...
متن کاملDiversity of carabids (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in the desalinized agricultural landscape of Quzhou county, China
Diversity and species composition of carabid beetles were investigated at Quzhou county in the North China Plain. The study area was originally affected by high salinity and desalinized in three stages in 1973, 1978 and 1982. At sites desalinized in 1982, carabids were sampled at field margins as well as inside fields to investigate the role of field margins as refuge habitats. Furthermore, sam...
متن کاملThe effects of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) on the arthropod fauna of wheat fields in Chile.
The role of carabid beetles in reducing populations of phytophagous insects has been an elusive subject. A field experiment was established on a commercial wheat crop (cv. Otto) with an area of 4.5 ha in Valdivia, Chile, during the spring and summer of 1996-1997. The field had been under a prairie system for two years, before wheat sowing (fertilization and a pesticide had been applied during c...
متن کاملWhen to sample in an inaccessible landscape: a case study with carabids from the Allgäu (northern Alps) (Coleoptera, Carabidae)
While pitfall trapping is generally accepted as the standard method for sampling carabid beetles, this method has rarely been used in mountain ecosystems, mainly due to the high labour intensity it involves. As part of a research project in the German Alps, we investigated the phenologic appearance of adult carabid beetles in mountain ecosystems along with the consequences of possible reduction...
