American Midland Naturalist, 1940
Although the Carabidae or Ground Beetles are largely predaceous in habit, Forbes has shown by studying the contents of the intestine that certain species exhibit different feeding habits. Several questions may be asked regarding the feeding of ground beetles. What do the beetles eat, how do they attack, and how do the prey defend themselves? Is there a

Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) as bioindicators
Biodiversity & Conservation, 2003One of the primary goals of research on bioindicators is to identifyspecies or other taxonomic units that would reliably indicate disturbances inthe environment, and reflect the responses of other species or the overallbiodiversity. However, there is no perfect bioindicator and selecting the mostsuitable one depends to a great extent on the goal of the

Ecology and Behavior of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
Annual Review of Entomology, 1996The ground beetles form the speciose beetle family Carabidae and, since their emergence in the Tertiary, have populated all habitats except deserts. Our knowledge about carabids is biased toward species living in north-temperate regions. Most carabids are predatory, consume a wide range of food types, and experience food shortages in the field ...

By no means the least important biotic factor confronting ground beetles in their various native ecosystems is Man himself. It therefore seems appropriate to follow the chapter on carabids and biotic factors with a consideration of the connections between this family and our own species. Nowhere has a comprehensive survey of the relevant literature yet

Prey-capture in a ground-beetle larva
Animal Behaviour, 1982Abstract The larvae of the ground beetle Notiophilus biguttatus F. (Coleoptera, Carabidae) feed mainly on hemiedaphic Collembola (springtails). The level of humidity required by the larvae lies between that of their prey and that of the adult beetles, and leads them to places where Collembola are abundant. The larvae are able to detect aggregations
