Discussion

Field study assessed carabid beetle populations in flooded habitats, highlighting ecological value and diversity.

Carabid beetle activity density was six times higher in the forest remnant than in the pasture, indicating habitat preference.
A total of 3,369 beetle specimens from 64 species were identified, underlining rich biodiversity in the area.
The study employed pitfall traps to sample beetles across different habitat types during flood conditions.
Conservation strategies should prioritize habitat mosaicity and traditional land management to protect rare carabid species.

Brigić et al. (2024) studied this question.
