Background This sampling-event dataset provides primary data about species diversity, population and seasonal activity of ground beetles (Carabidae, Coleoptera). The study was carried out in broad-leaved forests of protected ("Kaluzhskiye Zaseki" Nature Reserve and Ugra National Park) and urban areas (the Kaluga City) of the Kaluga Oblast. Carabids were collected from April to October during 1995-1998 by pitfall traps. In total, 108,000 adult individuals of the Carabidae family were sampled; 105 species from 38 genera were counted. New information This dataset is the first sampling-event dataset about the Carabidae family for the European part of Russia. It provides biodiversity data for new territory (Kaluga Oblast) and contributes to filling gaps in the global biodiversity distribution of the Carabidae family. Part of the data was collected from unique old-growth broad-leaved forests.

卡卢加州（欧洲俄罗斯）保护区和城市地区阔叶林中的地面甲虫（步甲科、鞘翅目）群落


背景 此采样事件数据集提供有关地面甲虫（步甲科、鞘翅目）的物种多样性、种群和季节性活动的主要数据。这项研究是在卡卢加州的阔叶林保护区（“Kaluzhskiye Zaseki”自然保护区和尤格拉国家公园）和城市地区（卡卢加市）进行的。 1995年至1998年期间，四月至十月通过陷阱收集步甲。总共对 108,000 只步甲科成年个体进行了采样；统计了 38 属 105 种。新信息 该数据集是俄罗斯欧洲部分步甲科的第一个采样事件数据集。它为新领土（卡卢加州）提供生物多样性数据，并有助于填补步甲科全球生物多样性分布的空白。部分数据是从独特的原始阔叶林收集的。
