Annual reproduction rhythms of ground beetles: a new approach to the old problem

  • Chapter
Carabid Beetles: Ecology and Evolution

Part of the book series: Series Entomologica ((SENT,volume 51))

Summary

During the consideration of carabids’ population dynamics a high variability of their reproductive rhythms has been shown. Species with high and low potential for phenological modifications are distinguished. The phenological polyvariance can be morphological (two types) and dynamical (two types). It is proposed to separate the classification of reproductive cycles from the seasonal dynamics of activity. The possible factors influencing the stability of reproductive rhythms are discussed.
