Consequences of Urban Living: Urbanization and Ground Beetles [PDF]
Current Landscape Ecology Reports, 2020 Abstract Purpose of Review Urbanization is increasing worldwide, transforming environmental and habitat parameters, and causing adverse effects on organisms living in urban habitats. Urban studies on ground beetles are exponentially increasing and cover all levels of biological organization.

Edge responses are different in edges under natural versus anthropogenic influence: a meta-analysis using ground beetles. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 Most edges are anthropogenic in origin, but are distinguishable by their maintaining processes (natural vs. continued anthropogenic interventions: forestry, agriculture, urbanization).

FireForest fires represent a natural element in the dynamics of forest ecosystems. This study investigated the impact of a large-scale forest fire in 2022 (ca. 1300 ha) on epigeic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae).

Robust and simplified machine learning identification of pitfall trap-collected ground beetles at the continental scale. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 Insect populations are changing rapidly, and monitoring these changes is essential for understanding the causes and consequences of such shifts. However, large‐scale insect identification projects are time‐consuming and expensive when done solely by ...

Measuring the Inter and Intraspecific Sexual Shape Dimorphism and Body Shape Variation in Generalist Ground Beetles in Russia. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Ground beetles in multiple species vary greatly in the expression of the shape on sexual traits, resulting in a sexual shape dimorphism as a consequence of sexual selection differences.

Pollution intensity-dependent metal accumulation in ground beetles: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int, 2019 Survival of organisms in polluted habitats is a key factor regarding their long-term population persistence. To avoid harmful physiological effects of pollutants’ accumulation in organisms, decontamination and excretion could be effective mechanisms ...

Tillage effects on ground beetles in temperate climates: a review
Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2022 Ground beetles (carabids) constitute an important functional component of biodiversity in agroecosystems, mainly because of their role as predators of pests, but also as consumers of weed seeds and as prey to other organisms.

Survey of ground beetles inhabiting agricultural crops in south-east Kazakhstan.
Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia, 2022 Ground beetles (Carabid beetles) may be found in virtually all of the world's habitats. They are one of the three most diverse families of extant beetles, with 34,275 species documented, and they serve as vital ecological markers in all environments ...

Global warning: challenges, threats and opportunities for ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in high altitude habitats [PDF]
Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, 2020 Aim of this paper is to provide the first comprehensive synthesis about ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) distribution in high altitude habitats. Specifically, the attention is focused on the species assemblages living on the most common ice-related ...
