Some notes on South Siberian Trechini (Coleoptera, Carabidae) with descriptions of three new species by V. G. SHILENKOV, Irkutsk Abstract — Three new species of Trechus from southern Siberia and northern Mongolia are described. Some new data on the taxonomy and distribution of other southern Siberian Trechini, as well as identification key to the species are given. With 17 figures. The ground-beetle fauna of Southern Siberia (from Altai to Transbaikal region) is not known adequately, whereas this interesting territory with expansive mountain systems appears to be a centre of endemism for some groups of insects. As for Trechini, only two species of Epaphius, six species of Trechus (three species described below) and one species of Altaiotrechus are now known from this re­ gion. Perhaps the Trechini fauna was severely affected during Pleistocene ice period. But undoubtedly, subsequent investigations of alpine and subalpine zones of Altai and Sajan Mountains will bring new species into science. In the present paper author will introduce into science three new species of Trechus from South Siberia and Northern Mongolia. Some new data on the taxonomy and distribution of other South Siberian Trechini will also be given. Before going further I wish to express my heartfull thanks to DR. Z. KASZAB for his indispensible support of this study, to DR. B. A. KOROTYAEV (Leningrad) and DR. V. G. MORDKOVITSCH (Novosi­ birsk) for kindly loaning specimens, and DR. S. I.

  • Urbanization Effects on Carabid Diversity in Boreal Forests
    Eur. J. Entomol. 100: 73-80, 2003 ISSN 1210-5759 Urbanization effects on carabid diversity in boreal forests Stephen J. VENN*, D. Johan KOTZE and Ja ri NIEMELA Department ofEcology and Systematics, Division ofPopulation Biology, PO Box 65 (Viikinkaari 1), FIN-00014, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland Key words. Boreal forest, carabid beetles, urbanization, urban forests, urban green space and urban-rural gradient Abstract. Carabid abundance, species richness and diversity were compared along an urban-rural gradient in Helsinki, Finland. Increased urbanization was found to result in significant reductions in species richness, though the reductions in abundance and diversity were not statistically significant. Forest habitat-specialist species were scarce in rural sites and virtually absent from urban and suburban sites. There was no evidence of higher diversity at intermediate disturbance levels (suburban sites), as predicted by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis. Species with flight ability and the ability to utilize open habitat were more predominant in urban and suburban sites. Flightless species were more predominant in rural and suburban sites. Carabid abundance data were suffi­ cient to reveal the negative impact of urbanization, so similar studies could be conducted in regions where carabid taxonomy is poorly known. Species composition patterns do, however, provide invaluable information. To conclude, if biodiversity is to be main­ tained in urban areas, priority must be given to the provision of those habitat features which are essential for sensitive species, such as decaying wood and wet microhabitats. These must be incorporated into urban green networks in particular, if biodiversity and species other than common generalists are to benefit from them.

  • The Life Cycles of Carabid Beetles (Coleptera, Carabidae) in Wetlands and Forests in Northern Norway
    © Norwegian Journal of Entomology. 2 December 2015 The life cycles of carabid beetles (Coleptera, Carabidae) in wetlands and forests in Northern Norway JOHAN ANDERSEN & VIBEKE K.G. HANSSEN Andersen, J. & Hanssen, V.K.G. 2015. The life cycles of carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in wetlands and forests in Northern Norway. Norwegian Journal of Entomology 62, 140–153. The life cycle of 30 carabid beetle species originating from wetlands and forests was studied by assessing the reproduction period and the seasonal occurrence of larvae, tenerals and fully hardened adults in the lowland of Nordland and Troms counties. Thirteen species reproduce in spring and early summer, have summer larvae and hibernate exclusively as adults with immature gonads (summer larvae species). Eggs and perhaps pregnant females of Dicheirotrichus placidus (Gyllenhal, 1827) hibernate. Sixteen species hibernate as larvae, most of them also as adults (winter larvae species). Notiophilus biguttatus (Fabricius, 1779) has been regarded as a species with exclusive imaginal hibernation in Fennoscandia, but in Northern Norway it hibernates as a larva as well. Several winter larvae species have an adult dormancy period in summer in Central Europe, but this does not apply to Northern Norway. Species therefore often start to reproduce at least one month earlier in Northern Norway than in Central Europe. This may be the reason why some winter larvae species may be able to have annual life cycles in Northern Norway, at least in years with high thermal sums. However, Patrobus atrorufus (Strøm, 1768) and Calathus micropterus (Duftschmid, 1812) have life cycles that may last more than one year in the lowland and the same may be true for several other winter larvae species.

Å. 2000: Impacts of experimental habitat fragmentation on ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in a boreal spruce forest. — Ann. Zool. Fennici 37: 201–212. A fine-scale fragmented area (twenty-two 40 × 40 m clear-cuts) and a coarse-scale frag- mented area (three 150 × 150 m clear-cuts) were created in a spruce forest in Norway during 1995–1996. Before and after the logging, in 1994 and 1997 respectively, ground beetles were sampled in pitfall traps between the clear-cuts and from an untouched control area. Seven eurytopic forest species accounted for 99% of the catch. In the fine- scale fragmented area the abundance of Leistus terminatus was significantly negatively affected by fragmentation, whereas in the coarse-scale fragmented area L. terminatus, Trechus obtusus and Calathus micropterus were significantly negatively affected. No clear indications of area or edge effects were found. Isolation effects probably were minimal. The ambiguity in the explanation of the results is likely to be due to species- specific and complex responses to the different aspects of habitat fragmentation. 1.

  • Coleoptera: Carabidae)
    Effects of management practices on the ground beetle assemblages of grassland and related habitats (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Shona Blake Environmental Sciences Department The Scottish Agricultural College Auchi ncrwve PhD University of Glasgow March 1996 © S. Blake Abstract In their various roles as herbivores, scavengers, predators and prey, the carabid beetles are an important component of the terrestrial invertebrate faunas of all kinds of habitat, responding to change in their environment by change in their numbers and in their species composition. The impact of habitat change and management pressure on the invertebrate fauna, and hence on the ecosystem as a whole, may be assessed by consideration of the carabid beetle assemblages. In this study, the carabid assemblages of grassland, moorland and woodland habitats were assessed from a total of 110 sets of pitfall traps in central and southern Scotland and 113 sets in north-east England. Each grassland site was assigned to a management intensity band according to consideration of the sward type and age and intensity of cutting, grazing, inorganic fertilisation and organic inputs. Species composition was examined using multivariate analysis, and three aspects of the carabid faunas were investigated: diversity, rarity and body size. Diversity was described by species richness, by Simpson's diversity index, and by the residual deviances of the regression of the log-transformed catch on the number of species. Of the three, the residual deviance performed best in terms of distinguishing between management intensity levels. Rarity was described by the Individual Rarity Score, an index based on the recorded distributions of the species in Scotland and differing from previous rarity indices by taking into account the relative abundances of the species in the catch.

  • Insect Remains from the Romano-British Ditch Terminal at the Flodden Hill Rectilinear Enclosure
    Reports from the Environmental Archaeology Unit, York 2001/49, 15 pp. Insect remains from the Romano-British ditch terminal at the Flodden Hill Rectilinear Enclosure by Harry Kenward Summary Following assessment, a single sample from the lowest fill, dated to c. AD 200, of a ditch terminal at the Flodden Hill Rectilinear Enclosure site has been analysed for its content of insect and other macro-invertebrate remains. Numerous remains were present, and their preservation excellent. It is argued that the remains represent a use phase and not abandonment. The ditch probably held water for most of the year, and its banks (and probably the adjacent ground surface) bore nettlebeds and other perennial weeds. There was no evidence of large accumulations of decaying matter, and no clear trace of insects from buildings. Species indicating open ground and dung suggested that grazing land predominated in the surroundings. There was no evidence of woodland or scrub. Four specimens of the nettlebug Heterogaster urticae are of particular significance as strong evidence of temperatures well above those of the present day.
