    Michael Amato University of Zürich, Ecology Department, Master`s Thesis External student at Agroscope Reckenholz December 31, 2014 Changes in Overwintering Arthropod Assemblages across and within Varying Habitats of a Swiss Agricultural Landscape Summary: Determining which habitats and features of those habitats are important for supporting biodiverse overwintering arthropod communities which is important for land management in agricultural landscapes. Emergence traps were used to sample overwintering arthropod communities across the five most prevalent habitat types in Swiss agricultural landscapes; crops, meadows, flower strips, forests, and hedgerows. Habitat trait and arthropod trait data were used to explain variation in overwintering arthropod communities across the different habitat types. Forests and hedgerows supported the highest levels of abundance and diversity of overwintering arthropods, followed by meadows and flower strips, while crops were the least productive. Soil bulk density and functional ground cover richness appeared to be the most influential habitat traits affecting overwintering arthropod communities. Wing morphology and size were important arthropod traits useful in explaining overwintering arthropod assemblages across a highly fragmented agricultural landscape. Findings in this study should be taken into consideration for land management seeking to optimize pest control by predators in agricultural landscapes. Introduction: Agricultural land use accounts for roughly 40% of the earth’s land surface (Owen, 2010),

Weisser1 Received: 12 December 2014 Analyses of species traits have increased our understanding of how environmental drivers such as Accepted: 04 March 2015 disturbances affect the composition of arthropod communities and related processes. There are, however, Published: 31 March 2015 few studies on which traits in the arthropod community are affected by environmental changes and which traits affect ecosystem functioning. The assembly of arthropod traits of several taxa is difficult because of the large number of species, limited availability of trait databases and differences in available traits. We sampled arthropod species data from a total of 150 managed grassland plots in three regions of Germany. These plots represent the spectrum from extensively used pastures to mown pastures to intensively managed and fertilized meadows. In this paper, we summarize information on body size, dispersal ability, feeding guild and specialization (within herbivores), feeding mode, feeding tissue (within herbivorous suckers), plant part (within herbivorous chewers), endophagous lifestyle (within herbivores), and vertical stratum use for 1,230 species of Coleoptera, Hemiptera

Zool. Fennici 51: 285–300. The adults of three ground-beetle species were induced to discharge defensive secre- tions into vials. The secretions were obtained by CH2Cl2 extraction. Altogether 11 compounds were identified by GC-MS analysis. Calosoma sycophanta possesses 10 defensive compounds, Carabus ullrichii seven, while Abax parallelepipedus has six compounds. Methacrylic, tiglic and isobutyric acids were present in all samples. The first two organic compounds were predominant in the extracts of Abax parallelepi- pedus. Methacrylic acid and salicylaldehyde were the major compounds in extracts of Calosoma sycophanta. Methacrylic and angelic acids were the major components in extracts of Carabus ullrichii.

We studied assemblages of carabids in eight similar habitats, fi ve in Slovakia and three in Serbia. The ground beetles were caught by pitfall traps from February 2015 until November 2016. We compared the incidence of Carabidae in fl oodplain forests and ecotones alongside the River Danube in Slovakia and the Rivers Tisza and Begej in Serbia. We determined their as- sociation with anthropogenic effects,diversity of plants in the different vegetation layers, cover of vegetation layers (herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees), area of forest stands, circumference of forest stands, distance to forest edge, age of forest stands, depth of leaf litter and physico-chemical properties of soil and leaf litter (conductivity, pH, relative content of H, C, P and N).
