Altai State University www.asu.ru ISSN 2412-1908 Acta Biologica Sibirica, 2017, 3(3), 86–96 RESEARCH ARTICLE UDC 574.589 Species composition of Ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in Saransk A.B. Ruchin, S.K. Alekseev, O.N. Artaev Joint Directorate of the Mordovia State Nature Reserve and National Park “Smolny”; e-mail: [email protected] In 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014–2016, fauna of Ground beetles have been investigated in Saransk (Republic of Mordovia, Russia). According to our data and literature, it is presented by 154 species from ten subfamilies. Of them, two species (Bembidion minimum (Fabricius, 1792) и Acupalpus elegans (Dejean, 1829)) are new for the Republic of Mordovia. Agrotechnogenic zone (68.8% of total species composition in the Saransk) includes highest number of species, residential zone (39.6%) is presented by lowest number of species. Proportion of multizonal beetle species was significant: 24.0%. We conducted comparison of species composition in different zones. As a result, two main clusters were determined. Very high values of Sorensen index was between industrial and residential zones, and between park-recreational and agrotechnogenic zones. According to the natural range type, we determined three groups: European-Siberian (35.9%), Trans-Palearctic (31.4%) and European-Mediterranean (13.7%). According to ecological preferences, we determined 11 groups of Ground beetles. Of them, highest number of species is presented in following groups: forest (28.8%), meadow- field (23.5%), forest-marsh (10.5%) and meadow (10.5%) groups.

ZooKeys 100: 407–419. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.100.1537 Abstract As a result of an invasion by the native grass Elymus athericus (Link) Kerguélen (Poaceae) in the last 10 years, a major change in vegetation cover has occurred in salt marshes of the Mont Saint-Michel bay, Western France. The impact of such an invasion on carabid assemblages, a dominant group of terrestrial arthro- pods in these habitats and containing several stenotopic species, is investigated here. -

Impact of Cutting and Sheep Grazing on Ground–Active Spiders and Carabids in Intertidal Salt Marshes (Western France) J
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 30.2 (2007) 201 Impact of cutting and sheep grazing on ground–active spiders and carabids in intertidal salt marshes (Western France) J. Pétillon, A. Georges, A. Canard & F. Ysnel Pétillon, J., Georges, A., Canard, A. & Ysnel, F., 2007. Impact of cutting and sheep grazing on ground– active spiders and carabids in intertidal salt marshes (Western France). Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 30.2: 201–209. Abstract Impact of cutting and sheep grazing on ground–active spiders and carabids in salt marshes (West France).— The aims of this study were to characterize spider (Araneae) and ground beetle (Coleoptera Carabidae) communities in managed (cutting and sheep grazing) and non–managed salt marshes and to assess the efficiency of management regimes in these particular ecosystems. The two groups were studied during 2002 in salt marshes of the Mont Saint–Michel Bay (NW France) using pitfall traps. By opening soil and vegetation structures cutting and grazing enhanced the abundances of some halophilic species of spiders and ground beetles. Nevertheless, grazing appeared to be too intensive as spider species richness decreased. We discuss the implications of management practices in terms of nature conservation and their application in the particular area of intertidal salt marshes. Key words: Management, Conservation value, Halophilic species, Arthropods. Resumen Impacto de la siega y el pastoreo de las ovejas en arañas y carábidos activos del suelo de algunos marjales salinos intermareales (oeste de Francia).— El objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar las comunidades de arañas (Araneae) y escarabajos del suelo o cárabos (Coleoptera, Carabidae) en marjales salinos gestionados (siega y pastoreo) y no gestionados y, por lo tanto, valorar la eficacia de lo regímenes de gestión en estos ecosistemas particulares. -

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.
