Využití střevlíkovitých (Coleoptera: Carabidae) k indikaci kvality prostředí

Abstrakt: The ground beetles of the Czech Republic are divided into three groups: R (relic), A (adaptable), E (eurytop), according to the range of their ecological valency and their association with the habitat. The fauna of original or little disturbed natural habitats is always composed mostly by A-species, contains some R-species, while the E-species are scarcely represented. The number of R-species and A-species is decreasing jointly with deterioration of the environment: the opposite is true for E-species. A conspicuous diversity and density of E-species are characteristics of degraded environments.
