Preface to "Faunistical and Ecological Studies on Carabid Beetles"Carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are one of the best-known taxa in entomology. They are common in most terrestrial habitats and geographical areas and can easily be collected using standard methods. Taxonomy, phylogeny, geographic distribution, habitat associations, and ecological requirements of carabid species are well known. Based on the above, carabids are often used as model organisms in faunistical and ecological studies. Original research papers published in the Special Issue "Faunistical and Ecological Studies on Carabid Beetles" of the journal Diversity covered the aspects of carabid faunistic and ecology.
