Description
This sampling-event dataset provides primary data about species diversity and population of ground beetles (Carabidae, Coleoptera). The study was carried out in broad-leaved forests of protected (‘Kaluzhskiye Zaseki’ Nature Reserve and Ugra National Park) and urban areas (Kaluga city) of the Kaluga Oblast. Carabids were collected from April to October during 1995-1998 by pitfall traps. In total, 108,000 individuals of the Carabidae family were sampled; 105 species from 38 genera were counted. The data contributes to filling gaps in the global biodiversity distribution of the Carabidae family. It also provides for reuse data about species composition of ground beetles lived in unique for Europe old-growth broad-leaved forests.
Data Records
The data in this sampling event resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 136 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
Carabid beetles were sampled by soil pitfall traps alongside with other epigeic arthropods. On each sample plot 30 traps were installed, except one plot in 1995 with 90 traps. Samples were sorted for carabids in the laboratory.
| Study Extent | Kaluga Oblastis situated in the central part of the East European Plain. The climate is moderately continental with distinct seasons: warm and humid summers, and cold winters with stable snow-cover (4-5 months). A mean annual precipitation of 600 mm and a mean annual temperature is about +4 °C (http://aisori.meteo.ru/ClspR). During the study 3 locations were investigated: “Ugra” National Park was established in 1997 to protect typical landscapes of Central Russia, and became theUNESCO biosphere reserve in 2020. The National park consists of seven clusters grouped into three areas, the total area is 986,245 km2. “Kaluzhskiye Zaseki” Nature Reserve. The Reserve was established in 1992 due to the presence of unique old-growth broad-leaved forests which was mostly undisturbed by cutting and ploughing (Smirnova 1994). The Reserve consists of two separate parts which are 12 km apart, the total area of the Reserve is 185 km2. Zaseki” in Russian means field fortifications made of felled trees. In medieval times, the Kaluga region was part of the defensive line. Kaluga city is the administrative center of Kaluga Oblast. The population is >300,000 people, the large industrial center. |
