(2004) have discussed the changes in abundance, species richness and species composition of ground beetles across urban-rural gradients based on data obtained from Europe, Canada and Japan.”

• Effects of urbanization on butterfly species richness, guild structure, and rarity (2007, background): “For example, carabid beetles are relatively well studied in urban settings, and they exhibit declines in species richness with increasing urbanization, although other measures of diversity and community structure do not follow similarly clear patterns (Gibbs and Stanton 2001; Niemela et al. 2002; I”
• The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape (2008, background): “In an urban forest, species are generally smaller (Alaruikka et al., 2002; Ishitani et al., 2003) and smaller species can occur at higher abundances (Kotze et al., 2003).”
• Small urban woodlands as biodiversity conservation hot-spot: a multi-taxon approach (2008, result): “As with previous studies on insects of urban woodlands (Niemela ¨ et al. 2002; Ishitani et al. 2003; Sadler et al. 2006), we found a decrease in the number and diversity of carabid species with increasing urbanisation.”
