The Carabidae form one of the largest and studied families of insects, occurring in nearly every terrestrial habitat. This book cover a spectrum of research into this beetle family, with an emphasis on various aspects of ecology and evolution. It deals both with individual carabid species, and with ground beetle communities.
The Carabidae (including ground and tiger presented at the 8th European Carabidologists' beetles) form one of the largest families of in- Meeting - 2nd International Symposium of Cara- sects, with no less than an estimated 40,000 de- bidology, which took place at the Catholic Uni- scribed species, occurring in nearly any terrestrial versity of Louvain (U. c. L. ) in Louvain-Ia-Neuve and at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sci- habitat on all continents (except Antarctica) as well as on most islands. This extreme diversity ences (R. B. I. N.
