Evolutionary Discontinuity of the Carabine Ground Beetles
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2001The Carabine ground beetles are mostly hind wing-less and cannot fly, so that there is more chance of diversification by geographic isolation compared with winged insects. The relationships between morphological diversification and phylogeny of the ground beetles of the world have been inferred mainly by comparisons of mitochondrial ND5 gene sequences.

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

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 ...

New Laboulbeniales parasitic on endogean ground beetles
Mycologia, 2008Three new species of Laboulbenia occurring on endogean Carabidae are described. These are L. lucifuga, parasitic on Winklerites spp. from Greece, L. magrinii, parasitic on Typloreicheia spp. from Italy, Reicheia spp. from Italy and Corsica and L. vailatii, parasitic on Coecoparvus spp. from Greece. New characters of L. coiffatii and L.

Ground Beetles on Islands: On the Effects of Habitat and Dispersal
Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2012Neutral theory focuses on random dispersal and species equivalence, and challenges views on the ecological importance of life history traits and habitat properties in explaining community assembly and the spatial distribution of species. Ground beetles are a popular model taxon to test predictions of contrasting macroecological theories.

Provides information about carabid beetles, their life history, damage and control. Most species are not harmful to crop plants, some species, in fact, are beneficial. Two species are listed as crop pests, Stenolophus lecontei and Clivina impressifrons.

Checklist of the Iranian Ground Beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae)
Zootaxa, 2015An up-to-date checklist of the ground beetles of Iran is presented. Altogether 955 species and subspecies in 155 genera belonging to 26 subfamilies of Carabidae are reported; 25 taxa are recorded for Iran for the fist time. New localities are listed and some previous distributional records are discussed.

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

Assessing capture techniques for ground beetles
The Canadian Entomologist, 2006AbstractWe investigated the use of wooden boards to sample ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and compared their efficacy with that of single pitfall traps and two modified pitfall traps (barrier and grouped traps). Carabid captures and species richness were similar between wooden boards and single pitfall traps, but higher in barrier and grouped ...

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
