Abstract
The response of carabid beetles to differences in tillage and chemical use was studied using four matched pairs of sites. Abundance and species richness were significantly different between treatments, but four commonly used measures of diversity were relatively insensitive indicators of change. It is suggested that the use of diversity indices in impact assessment is redundant or, when used with ground beetles, misleading.
