Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from the region of Cape Emine (central Bulgarian Black sea coast). Part III. Spatial distribution and gradient analysis
Journal Title: ZooNotes - Year 2015, Vol 78, Issue 0
Abstract
The ground beetle fauna of the area of Cape Emine was studied. Over the period 2010 – 2012 adult carabid beetles were collected. The investigation was carried out at 13 sampling sites and pitfall traps were used. During the study altogether 12618 specimens were captured. Mathematical processing of the data by gradient analysis with methods for classification and ordination of the communities was performed. Analysis of distribution of the zoogeographical categories and life forms was done. The primary role of the humidity and vegetation as ecological factors affecting the distribution of the communities of ground beetles was proven.
