Taxonomy, Systematics and Biogeography of the Scaritinae (Insecta, Coleoptera, Carabidae)
Scaritinae are a subfamily of ground beetles (Carabidae), containing about 1900 species and 125 genera. They share a distinctive body shape linked to a burrowing lifestyle. The diversity of Scaritinae is concentrated in the tropics and warmer regions of the southern hemisphere, particularly …

Vegetative communities as indicators of ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) diversity
… of invertebrates—the ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae). Specifically, that (1) land units of the same classification contained similar carabid species assemblages and that (2) differences in species structure were correlated with variation in land unit characteristics, including canopy and …

EVALUATION OF POTENTIAL PRE-MATING REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION IN TIGER BEETLES (CARABIDAE: CICINDELINAE)
… of hybridization. In co-occurring tiger beetles (Carabidae: Cicindelinae), these between-species barriers are not readily apparent. To understand the characteristics potentially responsible for this isolation, we conducted behavioral and morphological experiments with two pairs of tiger beetle …

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

GROUND BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) AS BIODIVERSITY INDICATORS FOR AGE STRUCTURE IN PIEDMONT FORESTS?
… community composition, and wing state of Carabidae as a function of forest age and identified eighteen species as potential ecological indicators for forest age. Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are typically ground-dwelling, generalist predators. Carabids were collected monthly …

Effects of management practices on the ground beetle assemblages of grassland and related habitats (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
In a comparison of grassland, moorland and woodland habitats in north-east England, moorland sites were found to be the most diverse and species-rich and to support a carabid fauna of larger body size than grassland sites. Within the grassland sites, intensification of management resulted in a …

Potential applications of the natural design of internal explosion chambers in the bombardier beetle (Carabidae, Brachinus)
The Bombardier Beetle (Carabidae, Brachinus) has a unique form of defense mechanism which involves the explosive mixing of hydroquinones and hydrogen peroxide in its internal explosion chambers and using the resultant high pressure to spray out a heated corrosive fluid containing p-benzoquinones in …

Efecto de los caminos y desechos forestales en el movimiento del coleóptero caminador, Parhypates (Eutamys) extenuatus (Carabidae)
La fragmentación del hábitat es un proceso de pérdida de superficie de un hábitat originalmente continuo, generando un gran número de remanentes de menor tamaño aislados entre sí. Este fenómeno puede afectar directa y/o indirectamente a la flora y fauna asociada a dicho paisaje. Los bosques …

The influence of edge contrast on the diversity and composition of ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) functional traits in a lowland heterogeneous landscape.
Understanding the effects that habitat fragmentation has on biodiversity is of vital importance for both the discipline and implementation of nature conservation. Ecological edges are transitional zones or boundaries that occur naturally between two adjacent land cover types or landscape patches. …

Analysis of the ground Coleoptera communities of agro-ecosystems within the Oriented Natural Reserve Pino d Aleppo (Ragusa, Sicily) and their use for assessing the environmental quality
… with particular reference to species of Carabidae, Tenebrionidae and Staphylinidae (excluding Aleocharinae). Inside each station five pit-fall traps have been installed filled with a solution of water, vinegar and table salt in saturation; the gatherings of the pit-fall traps took a year …

Ground - dwelling arthropods in a biosphere reserve: patterns of diversity and conservation implications
… epigeal beetle families, Tenebrionidae and Carabidae. Vegetation units explained the largest and most significant component of beetle and spider diversity (richness and complementarity of alpha and beta diversity). Elevation and mean annual temperature played a lesser but still significant …

Developing methods of strip cropping cucumbers with rye/vetch
… habitat plots had a higher diversity of Carabidae species (in both habitat areas and crop rows) before rolling or flail mowing, and higher densities of Carabidae (in habitat areas), Staphylinidae (in both habitat areas and crop rows) and spiders (in crop rows) after rolling or flail …

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