“…Later, Guéor-guiev & Guéorguiev (1995) indicate records of this species in 13 of 22 regions. Further to south, this species occurs sporadically: Hristovski & Guéorguiev (2015) for the first time recorded this species in 3 from 93 geographical regions of Macedonia, Serrano (2013) recorded P. oblongopunctatus only in 1 (Pyrenees) out of 23 geographical regions of Spain.…”

Using geodata technology, we conducted a bioclimatic modeling of the spatial distribution of the common palearctic ground beetle – Pterostichus oblongopunctatus (Fabricius, 1787). The range of comfort of the territories included in this species’ range was obtained. We used the data on 510 sampling points, obtained as a result of the authors’ field surveys and the data base of the GBIF global fund of biodiversity and 19 climatic parameters from the WorldClim open base and MaxEnt program. The results determined the factors which have the greatest impact on the current distribution of P. oblongopunctatus. The main climatic factors affecting the distribution of P. oblongopunctatus are average annual temperature, average 24-hour amplitude of temperature over each month, average temperature over the driest quarter, average temperature over the warmest quarter of the year, total of precipitations in the driest month of the year. We performed a prediction of possible change in the range by two scenarios (RCP 2.6 and RCP 8.5) for 2050 and 2070. Using QGIS program, we estimated the areas of the species’ range, and compared them. According to the scenario RCP 2.6, by 2050, the range of the species will contract due to decrease in the territories with moderately continental climate, and by 2070, a restoration of the range would take place, for according to this scenario, the average annual temperature stabilizes. According to the scenario RCP 8.5, the range will contract by 2050 and will continue to decrease by 2070, for the concentration of CO2 continues to increase along with increase in average annual temperature. Climate changes can affect the life cycle of the beetle, its life expectancy and activity over the season. With changes in temperature, eggs and larvae of P. oblongopunctatus can be more vulnerable.

“…In the Balkan Peninsula, Platyderus (Platyderus) rufus rufus was so far known from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia and Serbia (Apfelbeck, 1904;Guéorguiev & Guéorguiev, 1995;Guéorguiev, 2007;Hristovski & Guéorguiev, 2015). Here the species is noted for the first time from Kosovo.…”

“…Guéorguiev, unpublished data). Relatively well investigated and catalogued are the faunas in the central, east and south part of the Peninsula, namely those of Bulgaria (Hieke & Wrase, 1988;Guéorguiev & Guéorguiev, 1995), Serbia (Ćurčić et al, 2007), Albania (Guéorguiev, 2007), Greece (Arndt et al, 2011), North Macedonia (Hristovski & Guéorguiev, 2015) and European Turkey (Kostova & Guéorguiev, 2016). In spite of the fauna of the Western Balkans (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo) is catalogued and with taxonomic composition well-known (Löbl & Löbl, 2017), particular areas in the region remain less investigated than others mostly for the lack of reliable fresh data.…”

New records of ground beetle collected from 29 localities in Kosovo are presented. Collection of the material was carried out in the period 2018-2019. Altogether, 69 species and subspecies of ground beetles are identified. Twenty one species and four genera are recorded for the first time for the fauna of Kosovo. In addition, five species and two genera are first reported from Kosovo with first detailed records. Importance of premeditated efforts for collecting material in less investigated areas in the Western Balkans is also evidenced by finding of a great total of species that represent second records for Kosovo.

“…In Spain, the species was found in 20 out of 23 regions (Serrano 2013). It is common in Macedonia, being recorded in 9 of 93 districts (Hristovski and Guéorguiev 2015). The species is common in Bulgaria, where it is present up to 2,000 m in the mountains (Hieke and Wrase 1988;Guéorguiev VB, Guéorguiev BV 1995).…”

Shifts in the bioclimatic range of Anchomenus dorsalis – specialized entomophage – were modeled in the MaxEntsoftware package and are presented on habitat maps. For the prediction, we used two climatic scenarios – mild (RCP2.6) and extreme (RCP8.5). Under the considered scenarios, the further warming would lead to shift and extension of the range to the north, northeast and east and decrease in the number of populations in the southern regions of Europe. The most important bioclimatic indicators which describe the geographic distribution of A. dorsalis are mean annual air temperature, mean daily amplitude of temperature for each month, overall amount of precipitations in the coldest quarter of the year, minimum temperature of the coldest month, mean temperature of the warmest quarter of the year, and annual amount of precipitations. Global warming causes the bioclimatic range of A. dorsalis to shift northeast and east in intracontinental territories, and west and northwest on islands. This species of ground beetle is an important object in monitoring of the condition of natural and agrarian ecosystems, sensitive to the growing global climate changes.  Poikilothermic animals may suffer from overheating, and even if they live far in the northern hemisphere, the ability of their organism to withstand increase in the environmental temperature is limited. Mild winters (with higher temperatures) may increase the mortality of A. dorsalis by exhausting their energy reserves.
