Lipid content drives weed seed consumption by ground beetles ( Coleopterea, Carabidae ) within the smallest seeds

Weed research (Print), 2019
Seed predation by natural predators can contribute to the regulation of the weed seedbank, hence has been acknowledged as a promising way to significantly reduce the use of chemicals and mechanical weeding to manage arable weeds.

Agroforestry has an impact on nocturnal predation by ground beetles and Opiliones in a temperate organic alley cropping system

Biological control (Print), 2019
The sustainability of organic vegetable cropping relies on ecosystem services such as biocontrol. Vegetable agroforestry can combine perennial woody crops and non-woody crops, which may alter ground predator activity-density and predation potential.

The Feeding of Ground Beetles

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, 1996
The 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 ...

Ground Beetles on Islands: On the Effects of Habitat and Dispersal

Annales Zoologici Fennici, 2012
Neutral 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.

Man and the Ground Beetles

1977
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

New Laboulbeniales parasitic on endogean ground beetles

Mycologia, 2008
Three 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.

Checklist of the Iranian Ground Beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae)

Zootaxa, 2015
An 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.

Ground Beetles

2018
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.
