The spatio‐temporal connectivity of forest patches in lowland agricultural landscapes and their age matter to explain current biodiversity patterns across regional as well as biogeographical extents, to the point that their effect exceeds the one of macroclimate for plant diversity in the understorey of temperate forests. Whether this remains true for other taxonomic groups is still largely unknown. Yet, this relative influence has important consequences for ecosystem functioning and the delivery of ecosystem services. Focusing on carabid beetle assemblages, we assessed the relative importance of macroclimatic, landscape and patch attributes in driving local species richness (α‐diversity) and species dissimilarity between patches (β‐diversity).

欧洲小林地中甲壳虫（鞘翅目：甲壳虫）组合的多尺度驱动程序

低地农业景观中森林斑块的时空连通性及其年龄很重要，可以解释区域和生物地理范围内的当前生物多样性模式，以至于其影响超过温带森林底层植物多样性的宏观气候之一。对于其他生物分类学组是否仍然如此，在很大程度上仍然未知。但是，这种相对影响对生态系统功能和生态系统服务的交付产生重要影响。以甲壳虫甲虫为重点，我们评估了宏观气候，景观和斑块属性在驱动当地物种丰富度（α-多样性）和斑块之间物种差异（β-多样性）方面的相对重要性。
