“…There is little information for diversity and species richness of carabids in Brazilian agroecosystems. In the north‐east region of São Paulo, Cividanes and dos Santos‐Cividanes () observed 23 carabid species in soybean/corn crop under a CTS, and Cividanes et al () found 22 species and the Shannon's diversity index ( H ′ = 0.900) for carabids in an orange orchard with soil covered with spontaneous vegetation composed mainly of grasses. Such values are close to those from the present study for soybean/corn crop in Jaboticabal‐NTS and Guaíra‐NTS (Table ).…”

“…The majority of studies on carabids in agroecosystems are related to species from temperate regions, with very little information available for Neotropical species. Studies on carabids in Brazilian agroecosystems are related to population survey (Thomazini ; Specht & Corseuil ; Lacerda et al ; Auad & Carvalho ), effects of intercropping and no‐tillage systems (Cividanes & Barbosa ; Seffrin et al ) and species diversity and distribution in orange orchard adjacent to forest fragment (Cividanes et al ). There is also information on carabids in Pinus and Eucalyptus plantations and degraded area by soil use (Fagundes et al ; Moraes et al ).…”

There is very little information available on the abundance, diversity and distribution of Neotropical species of carabid beetles in agroecosystems. We studied the diversity and similarity of carabids in forest fragments, soybean/corn crops and edges, and we also determined the number of individuals of carabid species in fragment and crop during the growing season of crop and the off-season period. The study was carried out on three separate areas located in the Jaboticabal and Guaíra municipalities, São Paulo State, Brazil, from November 2004 to May 2008. Each location consisted of forest fragment, adjacent soybean/corn crop and edge. Carabids were sampled with 48 pitfall traps arranged along two parallel transects 200 m long. In total, 3544 individuals of 62 species were collected, with the following five species dominating: Abaris basistriata Chaudoir, Odontocheila nodicornis (Dejean), Tetracha brasiliensis (Kirby), Scarites sp. 3 and Scarites sp. 4. Highest species diversity occurred in the edge with weedy plants. Carabid communities showed high similarity between edgecrop and edgefragments. Abaris basistriata, Calosoma granulatum Perty, Galerita brasiliensis Dejean, Selenophorus alternans Dejean, Selenophorus discopunctatus Dejean, T. brasiliensis and species of Scarites showed the most potential as biocontrol agents of soybean/corn pests.

Diversity of ground beetles in Tikjda forest, Algeria

et al. 2022

This paper presents the first data concerning the ground beetles assemblages associated with Pinus nigra mauretanica (Maire & Peyerimhoff, 1927) reserve, Djurdjura southerner, Algeria. Carabids were sampled from two sites which differ in their structural vegetation, site No. 2 being more disturbed and more open than site No. 1. As a result of this survey, 231 carabid beetles belonging to 32 species were collected, of which 53.12 % were common to both sites, while 37.50 % and 9.37 % were restricted to site No. 1 and site No. 2 respectively. Diversity indexes were higher in site No. 1. Statistical analysis showed a significant influence of vegetation type on the specific richness of carabid beetles. Disturbances and structural habitat parameters seem to be the major drivers structuring ground beetles assemblages and influencing species abundance, diversity and richness. Carabid richness and abundance in the studied area are lower in disturbed environments and higher when the forest vegetation cover is developed. Adaptive parameters of species, such as diet and seasonal distribution, showed that 57 % of the species (174 individuals) caught are predatory. Two activity periods of ground beetles were noted, the first one occurred in spring and early summer while the second was mainly autumnal. Our results showed the efficiency of pitfall trapping with 70 % of captured individuals and 38 % of carabid species. Among these taxa recorded in the two sites of Pinus nigra mauretanica reserve, six species have protected status in Algeria, Carabus (Macrothorax) morbillosus, Eurycarabus famini, Laemostenus algerinus, Calosoma inquisitor, Calosoma sycophanta and Sphodrus leucophthalmus, and four were endemic to North Africa, Calathus fuscipes algiricus, Calathus opacus, Carabus (Macrothorax) morbillosus and Bembidion fluviatile unctulum. According to the IUCN categories, four species are in danger of extinction, Sphodrus leucophthalmus, Chlaenius velutinus, Bembidion fluviatile unctulum and Brachinus sclopeta, four are very rare but without current endangerment, Agonum nigrum, Har-palus attenuates, Notiophilus biguttatus and Trechus obtusus, and two were strongly endangered, Calosoma inquisitor and Calosoma sycophanta. Three bioindicator species of forest quality were found, Calathus opacus, Carabus (Macrothorax) morbillosus and Notiophilus biguttatus.Резюме. В настоящей работе представлены первые данные о сообществах жужелиц, приуроченных к заповеднику для Pinus nigra mauretanica (Maire et Peyerimhoff, 1927) (Южаная Джурбжура, Алжир). Пробы жужелиц были отобраны на двух участках, различающихся по растительности, причём участок № 2 более нарушен и открыт, чем участок № 1. В результате этого фаунистического исследования был собран 231 экземпляр жуков-жужелиц, принадлежащих к 32 видам, из которых 53,12 % были общими для обоих участков, а 37,50 % и 9,37 % были ограничены только участками № 1 или № 2 соответственно. Показатели разнообразия выше были на участке № 1. Статистический анализ показал значительное влияние типа раститель...

“…Both adult and larval stages of these species are polyphagous and have been recorded feeding on a wide variety of cultivated plants and weeds (Chadwick, 1965;Lanteri et al, 2002;Masaki and Kadoi, 1997). Most citrus orchards in Brazil have conducted careless weed suppression, resulting in soils covered with grasses and surrounding vegetation (Cividanes et al, 2010), which may show differences to the citrus fruits. Brazilian entomologists have investigated the influence of such scenario on the feeding behavior of both species.…”

Macrodactylus pumilio Burm. (Coleoptera: Scarabeidae) and Naupactus cervinus (Boh.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are considered primary pests in citrus crops in Brazil, causing damage to plants and decreasing productivity. However, few studies investigate the ecology of these insects. In this context, the use of stable isotopes analysis (SIA) emerges as an alternative technique to conventional studies of behavioral ecology because it is faster and may explain feeding behavior based on the food source for each species. Field sampling and laboratory experiments were carried out to examine the changes of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) among pests and host plants (C 3 citrus and C 4 grasses), providing means to examine trophic interactions. Beetles were collected at the municipality of Gavião Peixoto, São Paulo State, identified and kept at 5 °C in saturated saline solution until the SIA. Two patterns for both species were found: δ 13 C value for N. cervinus was-23.6 ‰ and-13 ‰ for M. pumilio, indicating similarity between the results of δ 13 C of N. cervinus and citrus plants (-26 ‰) and dependence on grasses (-12 ‰) for M. pumilio individuals. The mean δ 15 N value was 4.3 and 5.8 ‰ for citrus plants and grass leaves, respectively, and the mean δ 15 N value was 4.4 ‰ for N. cervinus and 4.9 ‰ for M. pumilio. The results showed a higher affinity of N. cervinus for citrus roots since the larval stage compared with the alternative diet on M. pumilio.
