  1. ECOLOGY OF GROUND-DWELLING CARABID BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES

    Maveety, Sarah AnneWake Forest University2013

    … research was to investigate the ecology of carabid beetles at different altitudes in southeastern Peru (Coleoptera: Carabidae). Changes in species richness, species assemblages, and wing and body attributes were estimated at different altitude zones along both disturbed and undisturbed …

  3. UNDERSTANDING NON-TARGET INSECTICIDE IMPACTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL IN FIELD CORN

    Cramer, Maria2024

    … I quantified their impact on predation and on carabid beetle communities. Carabid beetles may be important predators of pest slugs; therefore, I also examined carabid-slug interactions. Finally, I investigated whether a novel pest-management technique (RNAi) could travel up the food chain …

  6. The potential of restored landfill sites for biodiversity conservation in the UK

    Rahman, M D LuftorUniversity of Northampton2010

    … (vascular plants and bryophytes), invertebrates (carabid beetles and land snails), and vertebrates (birds) were studied on nine restored landfill sites and paired reference sites in the East Midlands region of the UK during 2007 and 2008. Plant species data were collected by random quadrats along …

    Vaughan, Jefferson ArcherVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University1985

    … becoming vulnerable to predation by ants and carabid beetles. Excellent survival rates of the larvae during the summer was attributed to habitat stability, the paucity of predators and parasites and abundant microfloral content (i.e. food} of the pond water. Intra-specific competition for food …

  11. Generalist predators in reduced-tillage corn: predation on armyworm, habitat preferences, and a method to estimate absolute densities

    Clark, M. SeanVirginia Tech1993

    … predators removed from the field included ground beetles (Carabidae), rove beetles (Staphylinidae), ants (Formicidae), and spiders (Araneae). Armyworm damage to corn plants was significantly greater where generalist predator populations were reduced, through the use of pitfall traps and exclusion …
