The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape

2008-10-01

Abstract excerpt

In this study we compared ground beetles (Carabidae) from a range of different forest fragments along an urbanization gradient in Brussels, Belgium. We address the following questions: (i) How does the degree of urbanization in the surrounding habitat affect forest beetles, and does it interact with the effects of patch size and distance to forest edge? (ii) Do these factors have a different effect at the level of...
