Redescription of Stenolophus thoracicus Casey (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Harpalini), a valid species [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2010 Stenolophus thoracicus Casey is revalidated. The species is redescribed based on a study of the syntypes and of several conspecific specimens from eastern North America. The species differs from the other eastern species of the subgenus Agonoleptus inthe

Which Seed Properties Determine the Preferences of Carabid Beetle Seed Predators? [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Ground beetles are important invertebrate seed predators in temperate agro-ecosystems. However, there is a lack of information regarding which seed properties are important to carabids when they select seeds for consumption.

The preimaginal stages of Galerita ruficollis Dejean, 1825 and the position of the tribe Galeritini in the classification of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2021 The complete development cycle of Galerita (Galerita) ruficollis Dejean, 1825 was studied for the first time. In laboratory, at a temperature of 22 °C and long-day conditions, the development from egg to adult lasted 58–60 days.

Convergent evolution of specialized generalists: Implications for phylogenetic and functional diversity of carabid feeding groups. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 In this study, we demonstrate that in carabids feeding groups and their morphological adaptations to the main food resource evolved multiple times convergently. Therefore, in carabids there is no clear relationship between phylogenetic distance and functional similarity.

Inferring species interactions from ecological survey data: A mechanistic approach to predict quantitative food webs of seed feeding by carabid beetles. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 Ecological networks are valuable for ecosystem analysis, but often limited by lack of data on interactions between species. Here, we develop a trait‐based approach to infer interaction strengths with mechanistic models and take existing ecological census data (samples of species: of carabid ground beetles and weed seeds) to construct inferred ...

Rewinding the molecular clock in the genus Carabus (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in light of fossil evidence and the Gondwana split: A reanalysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Molecular clocks have become powerful tools given increasing sequencing and fossil resources. However, calibration analyses outcomes depend on the choice of priors.
