Soil fauna responses to natural disturbances, invasive species, and global climate change: Current state of the science and a call to action (2017, background): “Even for those instances where ground beetle populations decrease after fire, the effects are often temporary or less severe than for more soft-bodied taxa (Radea et al., 2010; Saint-Germain et al., 2005; Sasal et al., 2010; Schowalter, 2012).”
Biodiversity and multiple disturbances : boreal forest ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) responses to wildfire, harvesting, and herbicide (2007, background): “Ground beetles were selected for this investigation because the group is diverse and abundant in boreal ecosystems, taxonomically well known, relatively easy to sample (Spence and Niemelä 1994), and previous work has shown that many species are responsive to habitat changes (e.g., Holliday 1991; Nie”
The effects of forestry on carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in boreal forests (2007, background): “…true in carabids because assemblages in recently burned stands include fire-dependent species that are lacking from or are scarce in harvested unburned stands (Holliday 1984, 1991, 1992; Wikars 1992, 1995; Beaudry et al. 1997; Niwa and Peck 2002; Koivula et al. 2005; Saint-Germain et al. 2005).”
