Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70793
Abstract: ABSTRACT This study evaluates the response of ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) assemblage to forest management practices by integrating species composition, body traits, wing morphology and developmental instability. Traditional approaches that rely on averaged identity‐based descriptors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00128-019-02679-x
Abstract: In most laboratory studies with oral exposure of terrestrial invertebrates to metals an artificial food, which is easy to handle, is used. The bioavailability of metals from this artificial food may, however, be much higher… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-018-0064-x
Abstract: Biota dependant on early seral stages or frequently disturbed habitats belong to the most rapidly declining components of European biodiversity. This is also the case for Carabus nitens, which is threatened across Western and Central… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2019.105615
Abstract: Abstract The recovery of postindustrial ecosystems is difficult to predict and depends on numerous factors. Afforestation whereby trees are planted without improvement of soil properties is a popular means of landfill reclamation in Europe, to… read more here.

The role of large-scale descriptors and morphological status in shaping ground beetle (Carabidae) assemblages of floodplains in Germany
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecological Indicators"
DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.03.042
Abstract: Abstract Floodplains are inhabited by diverse and abundant ground beetle assemblages that are adapted to the frequently changing habitat conditions. While there have been many studies on the composition of riparian ground beetle communities in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.micron.2021.103136
Abstract: The exoskeleton of the ground beetle Carabus insulicola was observed using polarizing optical microscopy (POM) with simultaneous transmitted and reflected light. The surface showed iridescence owing to the periodic microstructure. A Maltese cross array of… read more here.
