Recent records of steppe species in Belarus, first indications of a steppe species invasion? [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2011 Belarus is situated at a crossroad of natural borders of species distributions: the NE part is situated in a taiga zone, whereas the other part of terrain is in the European forest zone. The distance of Belarus to the steppe zone is about 330 kilometers.

Assessment of the Biological Control Potential of Common Carabid Beetle Species for Autumn- and Winter-Active Pests (Gastropoda, Lepidoptera, Diptera: Tipulidae) in Annual Ryegrass in Western Oregon [PDF]
Insects, 2020 While carabid beetles have been shown to feed on a variety of crop pests, little is known about their species assemblages in US annual ryegrass crops, where invertebrate pests, particularly slugs, lepidopteran larvae and craneflies, incur major financial

Effect of Prey Density on Diurnal Activity and Ovarian Development in Calosoma Calidum (Coleoptera: Carabidae): Implications for Biological Control of the Gypsy Moth, Lymantria Dispar (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) in the Midwest [PDF]
Great Lakes Entomologist, 2017 Four feeding treatments were used in the laboratory to study the effects of the availability of prey on diurnal behavior and ovarian development of Calosoma calidum. Activity was closely monitored for six weeks.

Fauna of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in Broad-leaved Forests of the Republic of Mordovia (Central European Russia) [PDF]
BIO Web of Conferences, 2023 The fauna of Carabidae adults in broad-leaved forests of the Republic of Mordovia (central European Russia) was studied. A total of 18210 ground beetle specimens of 104 species (8 subfamilies) were collected. The most numerous species were eight species:

Multilevel Analysis of Ground Beetle Responses to Forest Management: Integrating Species Composition, Morphological Traits and Developmental Instability. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT This study evaluates the response of ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) assemblage to forest management practices by integrating species composition, body traits, wing morphology and developmental instability. Traditional approaches that rely on averaged identity‐based descriptors often overlook phenotypic plasticity and functional trait ...

High mortality of beetle migrants along the Eastern Mediterranean Flyway
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 896-901, November 2023., 2023 In spring, 2019 millions of insects migrated from the Middle East to Cyprus, across more than 100 km of ocean. Coleopteran migrants were recorded, but the vast majority were found stranded on the beach, suggesting that Coleopterans are weaker migrants than other members of the migratory insect assemblage. This migratory mortality is likely an important

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 8, Page 676-687, September 2023., 2023 Abstract A local population outbreak of the spongy moth, Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), in Lower Austria, resulted in the defoliation of an oak forest in 2018 and 2019. In the study year 2020, the population density was still high but was expected to decline.
