Ecological diversity of forest populations of ground beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and its change under logging and reforestation

We discuss the dynamics of the ecological structure of the beetle population during the transition from one habitat to another in the context of sharp ecological disturbances during logging and further reforestation. By using the simplest indicators of diversity, the distribution of species and the measure of dominance we revealed the certain trends modelling the formation of the beetle community in the conditions of the early stage of secondary succession on the exposed forest area and following sussessive communities.
