Abstract

Changes in the structure of ground beetle communities indicate environmental stability or instability influenced by e.g., urbanization, agriculture, and forestry. Over the course of the year 2021, we used pitfall traps to record 504 individuals (185 ♂; 319 ♀) belonging to 26 species at ten localities. The predominance of macropterous species indicating the higher anthropogenic intervention was recorded in the habitats of meadows and pastures. We found an even representation of apterous, brachypterous and macropterous species in the habitat of forest stands, wetland reed communities, restored poplar forest with continued succession.
