Carabid beetles comprise a diverse and ubiquitous family of insects. Carabids are important in conservation biology and often have close associations with particular habitat types, making them useful biomonitoring organisms. Many carabids are also important biological control agents due to their predatory habits, but feeding habits within the family are quite diverse, and seed-eating or granivorous carabids can play an important role in shaping plant diversity and distributions. These qualities have particular relevance in the highly cultivated and fragmented landscape of the Midwestern U.S., and this region has become a very active one for carabid research in a variety of areas. In this paper, we review the state of carabid research in the Midwestern U.S., focusing on work published since the mid-1990s in carabid biogeography, conservation biology, biological control/pest management, feeding ecology and parasitism/health. Potentially productive directions for future research are discussed.

“…However, surveys of A. glycines predators in soybean fields yielded only one species of carabid on soybean plants, Colliuris pensylvanica L. (Fox 2002;Rutledge et al 2004;Hajek et al 2007). These studies were conducted during the day, but most carabids are nocturnally active (Lövei and Sunderland 1996;Ellsbury et al 2005). Agonum muelleri adults feed during both day and night in Switzerland, where this species is native, but were found to be more voracious at night (Lys 1995).…”

Climbing behaviour and aphid predation byAgonum muelleri(Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Field-collected Agonum muelleri (Herbst) adults were videotaped to assess their ability to climb soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. (Fabaceae)) plants. All individuals climbed up and down soybean plants multiple times. Agonum muelleri spent from 12.5 ± 3.4% to 54.1 ± 11.3% of their time on soybean plants. Caged A. muelleri adults on plants infested with soybean aphids, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), reduced the number of apterous adults. The presence of predators had an indirect effect on the density of nymphal aphids by reducing the numbers of adult aphids. Agonum muelleri, an abundant carabid in soybean fields, readily climbs soybean plants to feed on soybean aphids.
