“…Quinn et al (1991) also reported that populations of carabids rapidly rebounded the following year. Because the larvae live in the soil, and thus are probably not exposed to the poisoned bran, and because larvae may require more than one season to complete develop- Table 4.…”

“…In addition to many species of innocuous acridids, other insects such as ants (Formicidae) and ground beetles (Carabidae), also may be susceptible to the baits. Quinn et al (1991) reported that numbers of the three most common species of Carabidae captured in pitfall traps declined by 65Ð 81% after application of 5% carbarylwheat bran bait.…”

Carbaryl-bran bait is effective against grasshoppers without many impacts on nontarget organisms, but ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) may be susceptible to these baits. Carabids are beneficial in agricultural settings as predators of insect pests and weed seeds. Carabid species and their consumption of weed seeds have not been previously studied in agricultural settings in Alaska. This study examined the effect of grasshopper bran bait on carabid activity-density, as measured by pitfall trap catches, and subsequent predation by invertebrates of seeds of three species of weed. Data were collected in fallow fields in agricultural landscape in the interior of Alaska, near Delta Junction, in 2008 and 2010. Bait applications reduced ground beetle activity-density by over half in each of 2 yr of bait applications. Seed predation was generally low overall (1-10%/wk) and not strongly affected by the bait application, but predation of lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.) seed was lower on treated plots in 1 yr (340 seeds recovered versus 317 seeds, on treated versus untreated plots, respectively). Predation of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale G. H. Weber ex Wiggers) seeds was correlated with ground beetle activity-density in 1 yr, and predation of dragonhead mint (Dracocephalum parvifolium Nutt.) seed in the other year. We conclude that applications of carbaryl-bran bait for control of grasshoppers will have only a small, temporary effect on weed seed populations in high-latitude agricultural ecosystems.

“…Apesar de diversos estudos comprovarem a relação entre a complexidade da vegetação e a composição de espécies de Carabidae em agroecossistemas (QUINN et al, 1991;LYS et al, 1994;VARCHOLA & DUNN, 1999, 2001FRENCH & ELLIOTT, 1999) e em ambientes naturais (NIMIELÄ, 1990b;CRIST & AHERN, 1999;INGS & HARTLEY, 1999;MOLNÁR et al, 2001), a comunidade de carabídeos nos capões não está estruturada pela complexidade vegetacional. A variação na complexidade vegetacional nos capões não foi tão expressiva quanto em diferentes sistemas de cultivo e em outras formações florestais, o que pode mascarar este efeito.…”

ABSTRACT. Carabid community (Coleoptera) in forest patches in Pantanal, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. This work addresses the effects of the size, flooding susceptibility and vegetation complexity on ground beetles community structure (Coleoptera, Carabidae) in forest patches (capões) in the sub-regions Miranda and Abobral of the Pantanal, State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Thirty pitfall traps were run for six days per month, in six forest patches between October 1998 and October 1999. A total of 2,071 individuals of 64 species were captured. Negrea scutellaris (Dejean, 1831) and an unidentified Lebiini were the most abundant species (472 and 464 individuals respectively). Gregarious distribution and great number of species of low abundance could reflect the pattern of resource availability in the tropical regions. Species richness in the forest patches was explained only by vegetation complexity, whereas species composition demonstrated no significant relationship with any of the considered variables. This lack of relationship could have been driven by the limited variation in size and vegetation complexity of capões; alternatively, it may reflect a stronger effect of species composition change at regional, rather than local scales. KEYWORDS.Community structure, Carabidae, Pantanal, vegetation complexity, wetland. RESUMO.Neste trabalho foi estudado o efeito do tamanho, susceptibilidade à inundação e complexidade vegetacional na estrutura de comunidade de Carabidae (Coleoptera) em ilhas de vegetação arbórea (capões de mata) no Pantanal sul-mato-grossense, sub-regiões Miranda e Abobral. Os dados foram obtidos no período de outubro de 1998 a outubro de 1999 em seis capões de mata, através de 30 armadilhas de queda ("pitfall traps") instaladas por seis dias, mensalmente, no interior dos capões. Foram capturados 2.071 indivíduos, distribuídos em 64 espécies. Negrea scutellaris (Dejean, 1831) e uma espécie não-identificada de Lebiini foram as espécies mais abundantes (com 472 e 464 indivíduos, respectivamente). A distribuição gregária e o elevado número de espécies pouco abundantes encontrados pode refletir o padrão de disponibilidade de recursos das regiões tropicais. Entre as variáveis estudadas, apenas a complexidade vegetacional explicou a variação da riqueza de espécies nos capões de mata. A composição das espécies não foi explicada por nenhuma das variáveis avaliadas. Possivelmente a variação em tamanho e em complexidade vegetacional dos capões não seja tão evidente para demonstrar estas relações e a composição das espécies esteja variando mais em escala regional do que em escala local. PALAVRAS-CHAVE.Estrutura de comunidade, Carabidae, Pantanal, complexidade vegetacional, planície de inundação.
