Little is known about patterns of insect diversity and richness in Andean montane forest habitats. The main goal of the present research was to investigate the ecology of carabid beetles at different altitudes in southeastern Peru (Coleoptera: Carabidae). Changes in species richness, species assemblages, and wing and body attributes were estimated at different altitude zones along both disturbed and undisturbed gradients. en Wake Forest University Altitudinal gradients Community composition Diversity Ground beetles Morphology Tropical montane cloud forests ECOLOGY OF GROUND-DWELLING CARABID BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) IN THE PERUVIAN ANDES Dissertation Browne, Robert A Erwin, Terry L Anderson, Todd M Conner, William E Silman, Miles R Biology 2014-7-15 open.access
