SEASONAL VARIABILITY IN THE RESPONSE OF GROUND BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) TO A FOREST EDGE IN A HETEROGENEOUS AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE IN JAPAN

Seasonal variability in the response of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) to a forest edge in a heterogeneous agricultural landscape in Japan

Understanding arthropod responses HAIR ACCESSORIES to forest edges is essential to understanding both the characteristics of agro-ecosystems and the potential ecosystem services provided by forests adjacent to farmland in heterogeneous agricultural landscapes.Seasonal difference in the responses of carabid beetles to forest edges was determined usi
