Effects of forest fragmentation on species richness and composition of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae and Brachinidae) in urban landscapes (2008, background): “The impacts of urbanization on ground beetle diversity have been studied as part of the GlobeNet worldwide research project (Niemelä et al. 2000).”
Use of terrestrial invertebrates for biodiversity monitoring in Australian rangelands, with particular reference to ants (2004, background): “In contrast to vertebrates, where species distributions can be closely correlated with habitat complexity (Coops & Catling 1997), it seems futile to seek attributes of habitat structure that meaningfully act as surrogates for invertebrate biodiversity at anything other than a very coarse level (Aben”
Insect species composition and diversity on intensive green roofs and adjacent level-ground habitats (2011, background): “Cities are often characterized as having highly developed downtown cores surrounded by areas of decreasing development and increasing vegetation cover ( Niemela et al. 2000; Pauleit and Duhme 2000).”
Evaluation of mature conifer plantations as secondary habitat for epigeic forest arthropods (Coleoptera: Carabidae; Araneae) (2005, methodology): “Both groups are taxonomically and ecologically relatively well known, show specializations to certain habitat requirements, are numerous in species and abundant at the soil surface (Weidemann, 1978; Niemelä et al., 2000).”
Boreal carabid-beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) assemblages along the clear-cut originated succession gradient (2002, background): “Carabids are well suited for biodiversity studies, as they are easy to collect in numbers sufficient for statistical analyses, they are ecologically and taxonomically well known, and they consist of species with varying habitat demands and are therefore a good indicator group of environmental change”
Changes in carabid beetle assemblages across an urban-rural gradient in Japan (2003, background): “Today, most people live in and around cities (Douglas 1992, Vandruff et al. 1995), yet ecological research is focussed on rural areas or wilderness (Niemelä 2000).”
The effects of forest patch size and matrix type on changes in carabid beetle assemblages in an urbanized landscape (2008, background): “…beetles were selected as a reliable monitoring group because they are ecologically and taxonomically sufficiently varied, abundant and sensitive to humancaused disturbances (Desender et al., 1991, 1994; Desender, 1996; Luff, 1996; Niemelä, 1996; Dufrêne and Legendre, 1997; Niemelä et al., 2000).”
Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) as bioindicators (2003, background): “Because of the patchy distribution of carabids, it is important to sample over several sites (Atlegrim et al. 1997) and, because activity and abundances of species vary during the season ¨(Niemela et al. 1992), surveys covering the whole growing season are recommended ¨(Niemela et al. 2000).”
Investigating environmental variation and landscape characteristics of an urban–rural gradient using woodland carabid assemblages (2006, methodology): “This study is part of the international GLOBENET project (Niemelä et al., 2000) which aims to assess and compare the effects of anthropogenic landscape changes on urban biodiversity in several countries using a common sampling framework based on carabid beetles as bioindicators (Rainio & Niemelä, 20”
Standardization and optimization of arthropod inventories—the case of Iberian spiders (2009, background): “, carabid beetles (Niemelä et al. 2000) and stream macroinvertebrates (Hering et al.”
Assessing spider species richness and composition in Mediterranean cork oak forests (2008, unknown): “Nevertheless, standardized protocols have already been proposed and used for some arthropods like ants (Agosti and Alonso, 2000) and carabid beetles (Niemela et al., 2000).”
Diversity and composition of carabids during a forestry cycle (2004, unknown): “Such studies illustrated that, despite the different carabid species pool of the various regions, the general patterns of their responses to ¨anthropogenic disturbances were very similar (Niemela et al. 2000).”
Terrestrial invertebrate surveys and rapid biodiversity assessment in New Zealand: lessons from Australia (2004, background): “…growth rates, life history strategies and ecological preferences, which can be linked with specific variables to provide a greater understanding of invertebrate responses to environmental conditions and to generate predictive models for ecosystem biodiversity (Clarke, 1993; Niemelä et al., 2000).”
