Rove Beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) under the Conditions of Anthropogenic Agrolandscape Transformation in Northwestern Russia

摘要

Abstract As many as 147 species of rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) were found in the model agricultural landscape in Northwestern Russia. Cluster analysis showed that Staphylinidae complexes in cultivated lands were different from those in adjacent habitats: field margins, forest edges, and natural meadows. Rove beetles had higher species diversity in the agrocenoses of perennial grasses (clover, timothy grass), as compared with those subject to severe anthropogenic transformation (potatoes, grain crops, annual herbs).
