Environ.Entornol.12:1026-1030(1983) ABSTRACT During ]979 and 1981, populations of ground-dwelling predators and parasites in research and commercial cabbage fields in upstate NewYork were assessed by pitfall trapping tn determine species composition, abundance, phenology, and the impact of insecticides on them. Staphylinidae, Phalangida, Carabidae, and Araneida were consistently the most abunda...

Degraded areas constitute challenging tasks with respect to sustainable management of natural resources. Maintaining or even establishing certain successional stages seems to be particularly important. This paper presents a model of the succession in five different types of degraded areas in Poland based on changes in the carabid fauna. Mean Individual Biomass of Carabidae (MIB) was used as a n...

The results of pitfall trapping are often interpreted as abundance in a particular habitat. At the same time, there are numerous cases of almost unrealistically high catches of ground beetles in seemingly unsuitable sites. The correlation of catches by pitfall trapping with the true distribution and abundance of Carabidae needs corroboration. During a full year survey in 2006/07 in the Lake Elt...

Beetles (Coleoptera) are a charismatic group of insects targeted by collectors and often used in biodiversity surveys. As part of a larger project, we surveyed a small (4 hectare) plot in the Boston Mountains of Arkansas using 70 traps of 12 trap types and Berlese-Tullgren extraction of leaf litter and identified all Buprestidae, Carabidae, Cerambycidae, and Curculionoidea (Anthribidae, Attelab...

two new species of the genus duvalius delarouzã©e from south west iran and one new perileptus schaum from south east iran are described. duvalius koeni sp. n. was collected in khuzestan and duvalius mohammadzadehi sp. n. in fars. the species are compared with d. hetschkoi matilei deuve. perileptus jelineki sp. n. was collected in baluchestan and hormozgan, and compared with other perileptus spe...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact different methods wheat cultivation on occurrence Carabidae (Coleoptera, Carabidae). collection carried out during a three-year period from 2016 2018, research areas in Borovce, which belong Research Institute Plant Production (VÚRV) Piešťany. epigeic material done five variants: V1: mulching technique; V2: conventional V3: minimization V4: no-ti...

The beetle families Carabidae and Cicindelidae, with about 40 000 species worldwide, play an increasing role in biodiversity conservation ecological studies Colombia, which makes a faunistic update all the more necessary. We present analyze checklist of so far described or registered from Colombia until 2020, based on published studies, their distribution data at department level. are represent...
