Carabid complexes (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of the watershed slope habitats in the north-east of Samara region

Carabid complexes of the watershed slope habitats of steppe, meadow, wood and littoral biotops were studied on the geomorphological profile between the Tergala River and its left tributary stream (Samara Region, Pochvistnevo District, vicinity of village Isakovo) during three spring-fall seasons (1996-1998). In this paper the carabid complexes are characterized by species composition, structure of dominants, similarity of species composition, number of species and diversity indices.
