东灵山地区大步甲属物种分布和季节变化的多样性格局

The beetle genus Carabus is incapable of flying because of no hindwings. Its distributions are limited and show close relation to certain habitats. We investigate the species distribution and abundance of this genus and use them as indicators in monitoring environmental changes, to see how these changes would affect spatial distribution patterns and local biodiversity in a more general sense. This study was conducted in Dongling Mountain region (39°48' ~ 40°02' N, 115°24' ~ 115°36' E), about 114 km west to ...
