Egg-laying-site preferences of Pterostichus melanarius in mono- and intercrops [PDF]
Increased vegetational diversity influences the behaviour of carabid beetles by changing plant-related abiotic factors. These abiotic factors (light, humidity and habitat structure) affect the selection of oviposition sites and egg survival of carabid ...

Arthropod Assemblages in Desert Ecosystems of Alula County, Saudi Arabia
This study provides preliminary descriptions of arthropod communities in two desert habitats—arid thorn woodlands and wadis—across protected areas in AlUla County, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Pitfall trapping over a 6‐day period yielded more than 2000 specimens representing at least 189 morphospecies, with ants (Formicidae) and springtails ...

Similarities in Evasive Behavior of Wolf Spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae), American Toads (Anura: Bufonidae) and Ground Beetles (Coleopterea: Carabidae) [PDF]
(excerpt) While collecting newly metalnorphosed American toads, Bufo anlericanus Holbrook, we have observed that they exhibited evasive behavior similar to that of adults of the wolf spiders, Pardosa saxatilis (Hentz), Pirata insularis Emerton, Pirata ...

Evaluation of the diet of a carabid predator using fluorescent marking of prey
We present a UV-fluorescent dye-based prey marking technique, using three different dyes, with later detection of the dyes in the guts of predators using a micro-plate fluorescent reader.

Possible Colonization Strategies of Some Carabid Beetles Inhabiting Stream Shores (Coleoptera: Carabidae) [PDF]
Certain species of insects appear to be better adapted by virtue of their particular strategy to survive disruption of the habitat than do others sharing the same area.
