Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

A new Nebria species (Carabidae: Nebriini) and a new Deltomerus species (Carabidae: Patrobini) from high mountain areas of Azarbayjan-e Gharbi Province, Iran [PDF]
During a comprehensive study of the genus Stenus (Staphylinidae) along streams and river banks in Iran, some ground beetles (Carabidae) were also collected.

Predatory Insects and Spiders From Suburban Lawns in Lexington, Kentucky [PDF]
Predatory arthropods were caught in pitfall traps in suburban lawns in Lexington, Kentucky. The relative abundance of species of Lycosidae, Carabidae, and Staphylinidae was compared in Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue turf.

Fly or Dry? River Flow and Dispersal Mode Drive Cross‐Channel β Diversity in Riparian Zones
Terrestrial arthropods play a key role in riparian ecosystems, but it remains unclear whether drying stream channels act as barriers shaping communities on opposite banks. By sampling a family of largely ground‐dwelling arthropods along a gradient of flow permanence during a flow recession, we found that communities on parallel banks were generally ...

Carabids, as well-known bioindicators, have been used to study the long term changes that have occurred in their communities in the Dinaric Alps. This study involved eight sites in the protected forests of the Risnjak National Park in the years 2015 and ...

This study demonstrates the ecological value of natural regeneration in the Brazilian Cerrado by analysing the biomass, richness and trophic structure of leaf litter insects across pasture (P), regenerating (R) and native (N) areas. We found that R areas supported insect communities more similar to N habitats than to Ps, with higher richness, greater ...

Effects of Land Management Strategies on the Dispersal Pattern of a Beneficial Arthropod [PDF]
Several arthropods are known to be highly beneficial to agricultural production. Consequently it is of great relevance to study the importance of land management and land composition for the conservation of beneficial aphid-predator arthropod species in

Abstract Surveys of caves of the Nullarbor Plain, Western Australia, revealed a remarkable assemblage of exceptionally well‐preserved mummified arthropods, comprising Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera and Chilopoda, all of which exhibit high levels of troglomorphism, lacking eyes and showing a number of other adaptations.

Predatory carabid beetles are important for regulating prey abundance in terrestrial ecosystems. While surveys of carabid diet have revealed many insights into trophic interactions, the high species diversity and heterogeneous developmental stages of ...
