Ecological classification of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Barguzinskiy ridge (on the basis of temperature, humidity and vegetative cover criteria preference)

For creation the new ecological classification it was generalized long-term data on the quantitative distribution of 135 types of ground beetles in 22 biotopes of the western macroslope of Barguzinskiy ridge. Distribution on types on ecological groups is made concerning a factor of heat, humidification and vegetative cover of a habitat. Classification is presented by three classes – cryo-, psychro-and thermogene within which 3 subclasses are allocated – arid, humid, tolerance, and inside them – groups of types preferring moss and lichen, grassy and wood vegetation.
