Anisodactylus Binotatus Fabr., a Carabid Beetle New to New Zealand, and a Review of the Exotic Carabid Fauna
Pacific Insects 5 (4) : 837-847 December 30, 1963 ANISODACTYLUS BINOTATUS FABR., A CARABID BEETLE NEW TO NEW ZEALAND, AND A REVIEW OF THE EXOTIC CARABID FAUNA By R. L. C. Pilgrim DEPT, OF ZOOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY, NEW ZEALAND Abstract: Anisodactylus binotatus Fabr. 1787 (Col.: Carabidae), an introduced species now established in Canterbury (South Island), New Zealand, is reported for the first time. The literature respecting other carabids sometimes recorded as introduced is reviewed; Ago- nochila binotata (White, 1846), Agonum submetallicum (White, 1846), Hypharpax australasiae (Dejean, 1829) and Pentagonica vittipennis Chaudoir, 1877 are shown to be better considered as endemic to the Australia - New Zealand area. Other species are classed as either native to New Zealand, clearly introduced though not all established, or of doubtful occurrence in New Zealand. Introduction: The Carabidae of New Zealand are predominantly endemic species, but a small number of exotic species has been recorded. This paper reports a further introduc tion to the carabid fauna of this country and concludes with a survey of recorded exotic Carabidae in New Zealand. Specimens of the newly-recorded species were collected in domestic gardens in Christ church, and were included in a collection sent for identification to Dr. E. B. Britton, British Museum (Nat. Hist.), who kindly drew the writer's attention to the fact that they were so far unreported from New Zealand. Description of adult (from New Zealand specimens) Fig. 1. Anisodactylus binotatus Fabricius, 1787 Color: Head, pronotum, elytra and femora black; tibiae and tarsi light brown to red- black ; palps and antennal segments 1-2 brown, remainder of antennae black; leg spines red-brown; head with small red spot on frons between eyes. -

Material was pitfall trapped in 2010 and 2011 on twelve sites of the agricultural landscape in the Prešov town and its near vicinity, Eastern Slovakia. A total of 14,763 ground beetle individuals were entrapped. Material collection resulted into 92 Carabidae species, with the following six species dominating: Poecilus cupreus, Pterostichus melanarius, Pseudoophonus rufipes, Brachinus crepitans, Anchomenus dorsalis and Poecilus versicolor. Studied habitats differed significantly in the number of entrapped individuals, activity abundance as well as representation of the carabids according to their habitat preferences and ability to fly. However, no significant distinction was observed in the diversity, evenness neither dominance. -

Diplomarbeit
DIPLOMARBEIT Carabid assemblages of various forest communities of the National Park Thayatal (northern part), Lower Austria angestrebter akademischer Grad Magister der Naturwissenschaften (Mag. rer.nat.) Verfasser: Wolfgang Prunner Matrikel-Nummer: 0009403 Studienrichtung /Studienzweig Zoologie (lt. Studienblatt): Betreuer: Ao. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Waitzbauer Wien, im Juni 2009 Summary The study took place in the Nationalpark “Thayatal-Podyjí” (northern Lower Austria) on seven sites from April to October 2005 and additionally on two different sites from April to October 2006. The carabid assemblages of this different sampling sites, which vary in their geology and forest type, were examined by using pitfall traps. Carabids were suitable bioindicators for this study because they are easy to trap and their ecological preferences are well known. The carabid assemblages were characterised by composition of wing morphology types, body sizes and ecological valences and by three ecological parameters which were Shannon Index, Eveness, and Forest Affinity Index (FAI). In total 17 different species were identified and the species number varied from 1 to 10 among the sites. Aptinus bombarda was the most abundant species but could only be found at two sites followed by Abax parallelepipedus, Abax ovalis and Molops piceus. Abax paralellepipedus was the most wide spread species and appeared at six sites. In total more than 80 % of all registrated species were brachypterous, 30 % were stenoecious and 70 % were body size category IV and V which means that large species were in the majority. The Shannon Index was highest with 2.01 at the very well structured oaktree mixed forest MXG3, and the FAI Index showed its highest value at the oaktree hornbeam forest ES and at the beechwood forest MXG2 with 0.98 each. -

Ground Beetle Assemblages on Illinois Algific Slopes: a Rare Habitat Threatened by Climate Change
Ground Beetle assemblages on Illinois algific slopes: a rare habitat threatened by climate change by: Steven J. Taylor, Ph.D. Alan D.

Yanahan University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign During the Pleistocene, glacial advances left a small gap in the northwestern corner of Illinois, southwestern Wisconsin, and northeastern Iowa, which were never covered by the advancing Pleistocene glaciers (Taylor et al. 2009, p. 8, fig. 2.2). This is the Driftless Area – and it is one of Illinois’ most unique natural regions, comprising little more than 1% of the state. Illinois’ Driftless Area harbors more than 30 threatened or endangered plant species, and several unique habitat types. Among these habitats are talus, or scree, slopes, some of which retain ice throughout the year. The talus slopes that retain ice through the summer, and thus form a habitat which rarely exceeds 50 °F, even when the surrounding air temperature is in the 90’s °F, are known as “algific slopes.” While there are numerous examples of algific slopes in Iowa and Wisconsin, this habitat is very rare in Illinois (fewer than ten truly algific sites are known in the state). -

Microhabitats and Fragmentation Effects on a Ground Beetle Community (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in a Mountainous Beech Forest Landscape

Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia 2 Macedonian Ecological Society, Skopje, Macedonia Received: 10.04.2014 Accepted/Published Online: 12.08.2015 Final Version: 07.04.2016 Abstract: The aim of this investigation was to analyze the effects of microhabitats and forest fragmentation on the composition and species abundance of a ground beetle community from three different beech forest patches on Mt. Osogovo (Macedonia), as well as to analyze the mobility (based on mark-recapture of individuals) and seasonal dynamics and sex ratio of the ground beetle community. The study site included three localities (A, B, C), one of them fragmented (A), with four microhabitats (open area, ecotone, forest stand, and forested corridor). Ground beetles were collected using pitfall traps during four sampling months (June–September 2009) that were operational for three continuous days per month. Species richness, abundance, diversity, homogeneity, and dominance were compared between the localities. Dissimilarities in carabid assemblages between localities and microhabitats were analyzed with Bray–Curtis UPGMA cluster analysis. In total 1320 carabid individuals belonging to 19 species were captured. The carabid assemblage structure of the continuous forest locality was substantially different from the other two smaller forest patches, indicating that microhabitat structure affects ground beetle communities through changes of species composition and richness. -
