Carabid beetles exist in almost every type of habitat ranging from tropical rain forests to semi-arid deserts. In temperate regions they are usually insects of cultivated land and are frequently monitored as environmental indicators. This book investigates their beneficial role in agroecosystems and provides an extensive overview of the recent literature from a number of topics relating to the ecology and behaviour of carabid beetles inhabiting agricultural land, their role in invertebrate pest control and in the diet of farmland wildlife, along with a summary of their value as bioindicators.
