Экологические особенности комплексов жужелиц ранних стадий сукцессии на верховом болоте

Abstract

The research assemblages of ground beetles in the early stages of succession peat bog in the Belarusian Lakeland. They have a low species richness, diversity and evenness of species abundance. The basis of the complex is a few cryophilic, specialized wetland species adapted to extreme conditions of these ecosystems. It is tirphobiont Agonum ericeti and tirphofilous Pterostichus diligens and P rhaeticus. Revealed morphological characteristics of ground beetles and the high degree of similarity in their assemblies demonstrate the similarities and the stabilization of the environmental conditions of the various habitats of early successional stages.
