 #Carabid #beetles only eat what (#allometrically) fits: Food plant choice of carabids is driven by body mass to seed size ratio, new study of Ali & Willenborg finds. Read more here: @gfoe https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2023.05.007

This stunningly bejewelled beetle goes by the name Elaphrus cupreus, and is a common sight on the vegetated margins of rivers, fens, marshland and sphagnum bogs. They're diurnal predators of smaller invertebrates, and common all across the Pelearctic.

[#Publication] Carabid beetles have hump-shaped responses to disturbance and resource gradients within #agricultural #landscapes

Results from the #SEBIOPAG network based on 60 crop fields show that :
- environmental context contributed to 75% of explained #carabid variations
- resource and disturbance gradients contributed to 25%
- more intensive #practices in spring decreased the total activity density of carabids during the spring-summer period.

As weed seed-eaters, #carabid species provide ecosystem services in #agroecology. Yet, their foraging decisions are still largely unknown. Here is our new paper on this question, based on Alice Charalabidis' PhD work. #science #ecology #insect
