The dramatic increase in soil degradation in the last few decades has led to the need to
identify methods to define not only soil quality but also, in a holistic approach, soil health. In …

One of the primary goals of research on bioindicators is to identifyspecies or other taxonomic
units that would reliably indicate disturbances inthe environment, and reflect the responses …

Since the publication of the first edition of Food, Energy, and Society, the world's natural
resources have become even more diminished due to the rapid expansion of the global …

Classic studies have successfully linked single-species abundances, life-history traits,
assemblage structures and biomass of carabid beetles to past and present, human-caused …

In this paper we test whether the morphology and life traits of species (in our case ground
beetles of the family Carabidae) can be related to the main underlying axes of …

The emission of greenhouse gases has grown in unprecedented levels since the beginning
of the industrial era. As a result, global climate changes, such as heightened global …

1. The species composition and spatial distribution of small insects (Hemiptera, Coleoptera,
Lepidoptera) and arachnids (Araneae, Opiliones, and Pseudoscorpiones) were investigated …

The spatial distribution of carabid species and the effects of edge on their diversity were
studied along two repeated forest-grass transects using pitfall traps in the Aggtelek National …

The carabid faunas of ffy grassland, nine moorland and thirty-nine woodland sites were
assessed using pitfall traps. For each site, the average carabid body size was expressed as …
