Seed Detection and Discrimination by Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Are Associated with Olfactory Cues. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 Olfactory ability is an element of fitness in many animals, guiding choices among alternatives such as mating partners or food. Ground beetles (Coleoptera; Carabidae), exhibit preferences for prey, and some species are well-known weed seed predators.

Global dispersal and diversification in ground beetles of the subfamily Carabinae.
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2021 The origin and diversification process of lineages of organisms that are currently widely distributed among continents is an interesting subject for exploring the evolutionary history of global species diversity. Ground beetles of the subfamily Carabinae

Effects of insecticides intended for Ceutorhynchus napi Gyll. control in oilseed rape on ground beetles [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2017 The effects of insecticides that are commonly used for conventional and integrated oilseed rape (OSR) management on ground beetles were studied. Monitoring of harmful species showed that only insecticides intended against Ceutorhynchus napi should be ...

Agricultural Land Use Determines the Trait Composition of Ground Beetle Communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In order to improve biological control of agricultural pests, it is fundamental to understand which factors influence the composition of natural enemies in agricultural landscapes. In this study, we aimed to understand how agricultural land use affects a
