Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
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 ...

Long term changes (1990-2016) in carabid beetle assemblages (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in protected forests on Dinaric Karst on Mountain Risnjak, Croatia

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2020
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 ...

The value of regeneration for insect fauna associated with leaf litter in the Brazilian savanna: A comparative study of biomass and trophic structure

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 875-888, May 2026.
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 ...

Application of the mean individual biomass of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to assess the assemblage successions along areas of recent glacier retreats

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
Glacial retreat creates new habitat which is colonized by plants and animals during the process of primary succession. Traditionally, invertebrate succession along the glacier forelands has been spatially and temporally described by the following ...

Effects of Land Management Strategies on the Dispersal Pattern of a Beneficial Arthropod [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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

The first known troglomorphic, eyeless spider wasp (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae): Troglopompilus miracaecatus gen. et sp. nov. from the Nullarbor Caves, Western Australia

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
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.

Prey detection in carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in woodland ecosystems by PCR analysis of gut contents

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2014
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 ...
